Invest in your neighbourhood
Since 2013, Yellow Pages has been encouraging Canadian shoppers, businesses and business associations to support their neighbourhood economy by promoting the importance of shopping locally.
Get your community involved
Beginning in 2013, the Shop The Neighbourhood campaign encourages Canadians to vary their shopping behaviours to include support for small businesses within their community. In just one year, more than 12,500 businesses across Canada participated –– and more than a million Canadian consumers shopped local during the event.
Now Shop The Neighbourhood is officially a year-round campaign –– just like local shopping is a year-round activity.
As a business association, we encourage you to promote the importance of shopping local with your members and within your neighbourhood, to put money back into your local economy and foster a sense of community spirit among both business owners and shoppers.
Tineke de Jong, Old Strathcona Business Association
"It’s so important to shop locally because it brings the money straight home. We’re helping support the business owners who are often local people you’ll actually see in the shop when you walk in. It helps keep them employed, keep other people employed, and keep the money invested right here."
of Canadians make purchases in-person/in-store at least once a week.
