The #BCBuyLocalWeek campaign mission is to provide a platform to highlight BC Based businesses and products and taking part is as easy as answering the questions: Why Local? What is Local? Where is Local? Businesses should be able to answer the question How are you local?
The campaign centres on the ability to identify BC owned businesses as well as BC made and grown products by defining what is local from a local economic impact perspective. For a better idea look to this list found on the official website http://bcbuylocal.com/about-bc-buy-local/
Become a Local champion Today by pledging to buy locally grown or Locally made products from locally based Businesses.
When you take part be sure to Enter the Buy Local Week social media contest, promote the hashtag #BCbuylocal, engage your favourite businesses, produce and products in BC. Visit bcbuylocal.com to sign up for news about great BC products and businesses all year long.
