#TheBigSpend
is a one day buy local campaign designed to encourage Canadians to intentionally shop at local small businesses. The campaign goal is to see $100M spent at small businesses on
Saturday, July 25th
.
Supporting this sector is vitally important as it represents nearly 70% of all private jobs in Canada.
"The Big Spend is meant to be more than a symbolic gesture of hope. It is a practical step we can take as part of a larger action plan for economic recovering in Canada." The "multiplier effect" of local spending is the catalyst for creating healthy, vibrant communities.
