Your Loonie Goes Further When it Stays Close to Home
Canadian owned businesses, including locally owned franchises, have a profound impact on our communities and our local economy.
Every dollar spent locally circulates within our economy supporting infrastructure, education, and local charities. In fact, studies show that money spent at local businesses has a significantly higher positive effect on the local economy compared to spending at multinational giants.
