Buy Canadian - Shop Local!
Stand Together and Love Local!
Now, more than ever, Canadian businesses need your support! As Canadians, we must stand together and choose locally made products whenever possible. Buying Canadian means investing in our economy, protecting jobs and ensuring the succcess of hardworking farmers, manufacturers and entrepreneurs. When you purchase Canadian goods, you're not just getting high-quality, ethically produced items - you're also helping to strengthen our industries and reduce reliance on foreign markets. Canada produces world-class products that rival any in the world. Help us send a strong message that we stand by our workers and won't be bullied by unfair trade policies. Look for the "Made in Canada' label and make a conscious effort to love local by shopping and dining in your own neighbourhood.
