  2. About Buy Canadian First • Launched in 2008, our mission is to promote Canadian companies, their services and the products they make right here at home. We are not an online store and no purchases can be made on the site.  • We simply direct consumers to points-of-purchase (either online or in brick-and-mortar stores) where they can find Canadian-made products and services. Isabelle Remy, Founder of Buy Canadian First

  3. Why Buy Canadian First? • It used to be that, as consumers, we didn’t think twice about the long-term effects of our shopping habits on the communities we live in. We became addicted to low-cost products made abroad and got hooked on accumulating quantity over quality. • Then, something worrisome started to happen: Canadian manufacturing jobs started disappearing at an alarming rate. Between 2003 and the Spring of 2008 for example, Canada lost 350,000 manufacturing jobs. And sadly, things have not improved much since then. 

  4. GetInvolved • Our mission is to showcase products that are made in Canada, and to tell consumers where they can buy them. Through our blog and various social media networks, we are building an online community of like-minded individuals who are together driving this grassroots movement across the country. Get involved! • Our tremendous efforts to fill our product catalogue with tens of thousands of products made in Canada. Yes, we still make a lot of things in this country, but they are hard to find! • Our dedication to raise awareness about the impact of our everyday buying decisions, and how much power we really have as Canadian consumers to make things better for our country and our communities!

  5. Patriotism • Historically, Canadian’s have always been quietly patriotic. If there’s one thing the world noticed during the Vancouver Olympics is that we’re a proud bunch and perhaps now (post record-breaking-Olympics) we won’t be so quiet anymore. • Love of Country shouldn’t stop at flying a flag or wearing red and white. We have every reason to be proud of our country, including the wonderful products we make here. Some consumers buy Canadian over foreign-made as a matter of principle alone. We see a “Made in Canada” label as a badge of honour; one we’re proud to contribute to and want others to know about. Buying products made in Canada makes us proud!
