Time to Buy British Columbia!
In a first-ever initiative, BC’s beverage alcohol producers are uniting to ask British Columbians to buy local and support BC-based companies.
Time to Buy BC is a non-political organization made up of small & medium business operators who want to support BC business and protect long term jobs. Today it represents the BC beverage alcohol sector, but in the future could expand to align with any BC business or manufacturer that meets the simple criteria to participate: Be a BC-based business, which locates its activities here in BC, including all management and workers jobs and ensures the income and payment cycle of its BC business adds to our local economy. In these difficult times, we need to support local first.
From its inception, the movement has caught the attention of major industry groups. The Alliance for Beverage Licensees (
www.ablebc.com
) and BC Liquor Stores (
www.bcliquorstores.com
), are in support of this initiative and will promote Time to Buy BC in their stores. The BC Liquor Distribution Branch (
www.bcldb.com
), Rural Agency Store Advisory Society (
www.rasas.ca
) and BC Restaurant and Foodservice Association (
www.bcrfa.com
) have also recognized the importance of this program and have endorsed the campaign.
Saving our local economy is thirsty work but with over 500 local producers, there’s plenty to choose from. Connect on Social:
