You Care About Shopping Local. Let’s Talk About What It Really Means to Buy Canadian.
Join us for a live panel discussion with local business owners, industry advocates, and economic experts.
We’ll discuss:
– How small businesses source products & why “Made in Canada” isn’t always an option
– Why big-box stores and online giants make local competition difficult
– The long-term impact of consumer shopping choices on small businesses
– Practical ways to support independent retailers during this challenging time
Featuring:
Claire Breeze, Owner, Kitchen Boutique
Tim Lomenda, Owner, Big Hill Cycle
Bradlee Whidden, Senior Policy Analyst, Western Canada, Canadian Federation of Independent Business
Others to be announced
In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, Blackfoot Confederacy, Tsuut’ina, and the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation within Alberta District 4.
