Manufacturers

"We joined Buy Canadian First because we believe that in order to build and maintain the Canadian economy, we must first support Canadian businesses on all levels. If we can motivate others to be loyal to our economy through increased job creation and use of domestic materical and ingredientrs, then this will inevitably lead to overall groth of our company. In addition, we take great pride in being Canadian manufacturer and would like our consumers to know.

To measure our satisfaction with our membership, we do not need to go any further than the FANTASTIC customer service that that the Buy Canadian First employees offer their members. They are always friendly and willing to assist us. We also look at the Blog in order to get a feel of the heartbeat of consumers when it comes to our products. In addition, there is always a great opportunity for us to showcase our products through the special promotional segments like the CTV opportunity offered to us last season and the great upcoming segment with CityTV Breakfast Television."

"Our company, AHF, manufactures its products in Canada. We have been doing so for over 30 years. We all have a part to play, be it manufacturer, retailer, or consumer, to ensure that we support our local communities.

Buycanadianfirst.ca allows Canadians to seek out locally made products that in turn strengthens our communities. I feel this is more than a website. Buycanadianfirst.ca is part of our social fabric, and demonstrates the unique way Canadians come together."

"We decided to become a member of Buy Canadian First because as a custom house manufacturer we do not market our product to the consumer at large. This site is a nice way to promote who we are, what we do & the fact that we are one of the few remaining Canadian manufacturers of winter & spring boots."

Consumers

"At long last, it is is fantastic to see a movement in this country towards "Buying Canadian First"!!!.  For years I have always tried to buy Canadian Made products, and this has often proven to be a difficult task.  One has to really shop around to accomplish this, and be particular in checking out the labels on a product to ensure it is Canadian made. Rest assured I will pass the word around about Buying Canadian First amongst my collegues in the Canadian Forces."

"I have your site on my favorites list ... because I strongly support Canadian companies, I have for years. At the beginning some people thougt I was crazy insisting on Canadian made products. Not so much now as it is very difficult to find genuine Canadian made anything anymore. Thanks to seeing you on A channel, I look up things often and have purchased items on-line."

"I have long thought that the Canadian government should have a web site which lists everything that is made here. If you are about to purchase something (anything from a toaster to a shovel to a car), you should be able to type in the item in which you are interested and you should be able to get a list of sources of the item (store or supplier). Thanks!"
