The City of Ottawa has launched a “Shop Local, Buy Canadian” campaign in response to the implementation of new tariffs from the United States.
At the Council meeting on February 12, Mayor Sutcliffe convened a table of economic development partners to share concerns, best practices and resources. To support this work, and as previously communicated, Economic Development Services consolidated information and resources in a Tariff Toolkit available on ottawa.ca.
These resources include a Toolkit for businesses in rural Ottawa.
Economic Development Services has also developed a “Shop Local. Buy Canadian.” campaign to mobilize residents and encourage their continued support for local businesses and Canadian products and services.
The campaign began last week and will run for approximately eight weeks in English and French.
