Supporting local: what you can do
Supporting local businesses strengthens the Yukon’s economy. Learn how your everyday purchases can make a difference to support local businesses.
What can I do?
Supporting local and Canadian businesses helps our economies withstand the effects of tariffs. Benefits of buying local and Canadian include:
- supports businesses affected by tariffs;
- keeps the money you spend in your community; and
- reduces the environmental impact from shipping and packaging.
According to the Yukon Chamber of Commerce, each dollar you spend at a local independent business returns 3 times more money to your local economy. Learn more about the local impact.
