Local Impact in the Time of Buy Canada

Support Local. Strengthen Your Community (and Canada 🍁).

In the face of global economic uncertainty and the U.S. trade war, Canadian consumers and businesses are rethinking how—and where—they spend. LOCO BC’s research shows that buying local products from local businesses keeps up to 92¢ of every dollar circulating in the local economy and can cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 66%. It's an important time to localize your spending and to market your business's local impact.

This online workshop discusses the rewards, challenges, and how-to of localizing business purchasing and buy local marketing.
