Find Local Businesses to Support

The Power of Every Purchase

When shopping locally, prioritize local and Canadian-made products whenever possible. These purchases help keep money circulating in our economy, protecting jobs and reinforcing our economic stability. Businesses, too, are making the shift to offer more local products, but it takes time to source and stock these items. In the meantime, there's plenty of inventory that needs to be moved, so supporting local businesses, even when items aren't made here, still plays a crucial role in keeping our economy strong.
