Local - Renfrew County - Canadian Made or Produced Resource

Supporting local businesses is an investment in the economic prosperity of your community, your County, and Canada. Spending at locally owned businesses creates employment, nurtures entrepreneurship, and promotes sustainable growth. Choosing Canadian-made products and services fortifies our economy, supports the creative economy sectors, and fosters responsible business practices.
 

Beyond the economic benefits, shopping locally helps preserve the unique character of a region. It empowers businesses of all sizes to thrive, ensuring communities remain vibrant, unique, and competitive. Local business is the backbone of our communities and region’s success.  When we support our local businesses, we build a stronger, more resilient future for everyone.
