#BuyLocalOttawa
Together with key local partners, including the City of Ottawa, Ottawa Tourism, Invest Ottawa, the Ottawa Coalition of BIAs, and RGA (Regroupement des gens d’affaires de la Capitale), we’re calling on YOU to put your money where your heart is and buy local.
Strengthening Our Economy
Every dollar spent at a local business circulates within Ottawa, directly impacting our city’s economy. This means stronger funding for public services and infrastructure, building a more prosperous city for everyone.
Creating Local Jobs and Opportunities
Local businesses foster entrepreneurship while driving innovation and employment. By supporting these businesses, you help create and sustain employment opportunities for your neighbours, friends, and family.
Building Community Identity and Vibrancy
Ottawa’s unique character is shaped by its diverse local businesses. From family-run shops to innovative startups, these enterprises make our city distinctive, vibrant, and attractive to residents and visitors alike.
How can you get involved?
- Share your favourite local businesses using the hashtag #BuyLocalOttawa.
- Make the decision to buy local as much as possible and encourage others to do the same.
- Promote your favourite local businesses on social media and in person to your friends, family, and colleagues.
- Use our toolkit to share the buy local campaign and let’s make Ottawa thrive together.
The #BuyLocalOttawa campaign is a reminder to everyone that businesses drive our local economy, enhance our community culture, and shape our future. They support all of us. So now it is time to support them.
