There are so many reasons to support Canadian made whenever possible. Now more than ever, we need to band together to keep our hard-earned money in the local economy. Every purchase is a vote for the kind of future you want to see, so make sure you make it count.
Not only does shopping local strengthen the Canadian economy, it has major benefits both environmentally and ethically. So if you've been thinking about shopping sustainably made in Canada, now is a great time to hit checkout. Scroll down to learn more.
Lower Carbon Footprint
It might seem obvious, but when you choose to shop locally, you help reduce the amount of carbon emissions that come from shipping and transportation.
Faster delivery, coupled with less C02 in the air leads to a better experience overall.
Higher Wages & Workers Rights
Canada has strict labour laws in place to ensure fair wages and safe working conditions for all.
Shopping local means everyone in the supply chain– from the makers to the sales associates– are paid a consistent minimum wage.
Strengthening the Canadian Economy
Choosing to spend your hard earned money with Canadian businesses means you’re keeping the dollars within your own country.
Rather than sending that money directly over the border, why not boost our own economy when you can?
Creating (and keeping) Jobs
When you shop Canadian, you’re helping create jobs and strengthen job security in your own community.
Those independent boutiques and storefronts in your neighbourhood employ dozens of people to help run them, from shopkeepers, to delivery drivers, to service workers.
Spending your money with them ensures those jobs continue to exist.
Creating a ~Vibe~
Have you ever visited a city where there were no local shops? Where all the stores were massive chain retailers and fast food joints?
It’s not very exciting to be in those places right? Keeping small, local shops in business helps ensure diverse and interesting neighbourhoods continue to thrive. It’s a win-win, really!
