Why Supporting Local Matters
By supporting local, independent businesses, you help our community remain strong, vibrant and resilient.
Put Your Money Where Your Heart Is
Support your friends and neighbours. Invest in our community and help create a stronger, healthier Greater Victoria by keeping more of our money here.
Community Sustainability
Local businesses help sustain vibrant, compact and walkable town centres, which contribute to greener and more connected communities.
Create Collective Prosperity
Locally owned businesses invest in local labour, pay local taxes, participate in community decisions and support local events. In doing so, they create more opportunities for everyone.
What Goes Around Comes Around
More money stays in the local economy when you purchase goods and services from locally owned businesses rather than national chains.
Keep Our Community Unique
One-of-a-kind businesses are an essential part of the distinctive character and experience of Greater Victoria.
Local Owners Care About Greater Victoria
Local business owners live here, work here and care deeply about the future of our region. They are invested in the long-term health of the communities they serve.
Think Local First
Every local choice helps strengthen our economy, support our neighbours and preserve the character of Greater Victoria.
