The recent threat of tariffs from the U.S., and the instability caused by the new U.S. administration have Canadians rethinking our reliance on U.S. goods and suppliers. Many local governments are directing staff to seek new Canadian service providers, just as businesses are directing their attention to markets closer to home. LOCO BC and Buy Social Canada are partnering to bring you a workshop on how your organization can implement strategies to support local and social purchasing without contravening existing Canadian and European trade agreements.
We will cover:
- Making the case: the economic impact of Canadian business + the social impact of social enterprises
- Strategies to align your purchasing with the "Buy Canadian" movement
- Solutions for the top challenges when sourcing local
- Tools to measure and identify local impact
- Case studies from relevant organizations
Speakers:
- Amy Robinson, LOCO BC
- Em Woykin-Miller, Buy Social Canada and the BC Social Procurement Initiative
