Canada United Launches “Buy Local” Weekend

Canada United Weekend, August 28-29-30th, is an initiative organized by RBC with the support all Provincial Chambers of Commerce and the Retail Council of Canada  to rally Canadians to shop local and support businesses in their communities.

For the last several months, Canadians across the country have gone above and beyond to support one another in these uncertain times. By helping local businesses through this trying time, Canada United aims to help turn the corner into economic recovery.

The COVID pandemic has reawakened the buy local movement as the need to provide mutual support to small businesses in our communities is evident now more than ever.

It is easy for local businesses to participate through social media posts and window signage available at an RBC brand.

Businesses can learn more about the initiative online.
