What are the impacts of buying local? For every $100 spent with a local owned, BC-based business $63 is recirculated back into B.C.’s economy.

How does that happen? Local businesses recirculate more of their revenue in the local economy. This translates to more local jobs, more donations to local charities, more local purchases (goods & services), more of the company’s profits kept local.

These statistics and more are drawn from research done in British Columbia. Read the supporting research reports.
