About Us

Small businesses comprise 98.2% of all Canadian companies. By buying local, you’re supporting Canadian businesses, business owners, workers and their families. Your support of small businesses paves the way for job creation and new opportunities within your community or region. Buying local helps sustain small businesses and decrease unemployment rates.

Having trouble finding what you need locally? Well, that’s exactly why you should support local. Supporting local businesses helps them increase their selection and provide accessibility to a wider variety of products. Many small business owners base their product selection on the needs and demand of their local customers.

For every $100 spent at a locally owned Canadian, business, approx. $63-$70 is reinvested into our local economy. For every $100 spent at a big chain, only $43 remains local. The dollars reinvested into your community support your tax base and support the improvement and development of public and community services, education, emergency services, charitable causes and more.
