About Us
A great community is a collection and collaboration of many pieces that fit together to create a beautiful mosaic.
Sweat Equity Local is more than a business— it’s a movement to connect and engage the Oakville and Burlington communities. Committed to making change, we are developing a magazine and digital brand that reaches out to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, to create a space online and in print that reflects the richness of the community by giving it a voice. Sweat Equity Local encourages people to become their best, healthiest selves in every issue.
What makes us different?
We think differently. We understand that to get the best results we have to reach beyond and try the unexpected. We are committed to the journey and we have infinite patience to persevere. Most importantly, we will challenge the status quo and never overlook the chance to do better.

What We Do
We connect people, support businesses, inspire good living, and share stories and opinions that illustrate the common threads that connect us. We strive to explore and expose our great communities of Oakville and Burlington, so we can help to grow local businesses that are committed to serving us. We developed the FACES of Oakville & Burlington which is a special publication that introduces the faces of local industry leaders, sharing the stories of these entrepreneurs and the expertise they offer our community. FACES personally introduces you to the people behind the businesses so we can all connect and learn how they infuse our community with their knowledge, making a variety of services available to us locally. Diversity and connection is what will help us thrive. We are proud to be part of the effort to keeping it local. We are stronger together!
