Standing Strong: Supporting Local Businesses Amid U.S. Tariffs
The recent U.S. tariffs reinforce the need to support our local and Canadian businesses.
Buy B.C., Buy Canadian
For consumers: There's never been a better time to Buy BC and support the growers, producers and food we enjoy here at home. The Buy BC website was created to help us select fresh-tasting, high-quality products that are grown, raised and made in BC.
For producers: all producers, processors, retailers, farmers' markets and industry associations can apply to get the Buy BC logo and add it to your packaging and marketing material for free.
Made in Canada
For consumers: The Made in CA website lists Canadian-produced product in one place, enabling you to support Canadian businesses and workers. Made in CA have put together a shopping list to source grocery items and brands produced and manufactured right here in Canada. Read more here.
For producers and manufacturers: If you produce or manufacture product and can ship across Canada, consider submitting your business listing here.
