Support Local. Strengthen Canada.
Local businesses are the heart of our communities—and choosing local has big impacts. 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%.
In the face of rising global uncertainty and U.S. trade tensions, Canadian
consumers, businesses and institutions are rethinking how—and where—they buy. Now’s the time to shift more spending to Canadian-owned businesses and locally made or grown products.
