During B.C. Buy Local Week, I encourage everyone to support the restaurants, retailers, farmers and makers who contribute so much to our communities.
Now more than ever, your support helps local business owners grow and keeps our communities strong.

It's BC Buy Local Week — There are so many ways to support local small businesses, from lunch at a family-owned restaurant to home repairs from a neighbourhood contractor.

#bcbuylocal week kicks off today, and you can't go wrong with a book! Shop at indie bookstores because when you support local $63 out of every $100 goes back to BC compared to $14 from multinationals. Want to shop online? No problem, most local bookstores can accommodate: bit.ly/47BVJL1
It's #BCBuyLocal Week and a good opportunity to buy BC-made gifts and experiences this holiday season.
Choosing a neighbourhood café or buying B.C.-grown food helps build a stronger, more resilient local economy.
I encourage everyone to shop local this week and throughout the year.
This holiday season, be sure to visit the many great local stores in your community. It's where you'll find many unique gift ideas.
When we buy local we support local families. It strengthens our communities and we feel good doing it.

🍁 CDN-made
🍁 CDN-owned
We define CDN-owned as privately owned, since profits go to local owners not shareholders, to benefit communities where they live.
