TV appearance on “A” Morning: buying local in and around Ottawa

By / Par: Isabelle Remy - Dorval, Quebec

Category / Catégorie: From Isabelle

Last month, Ottawa launched it's very own Buy Local - Support Local campaign which will last an entire year. What a great initiative! I wondered what we could do at Buy Canadian First to help support that campaign. So, together with our friends at "A" Morning show in Ottawa, we put together a segment highlighting the great companies and products made in and around Ottawa.

As soon as we have the segment, we'll post it here so you can watch it.

Here are the products that were showcased:

1) Organic herbal products made in Glengarry by Glengarry Gardens

2) Woodworking tools made in Ottawa by Lee Valley Tools

3) Rim roller made in Russel by Novel Solutions

4) Sponges made in North Lancaster by MySponge.com

5) Flax products made in Winchester by Natunola

Unfortunately, we ran out of time to feature the following products, which were also on display:

6) Health products made by Herbal 1

7) Wall art made in Ottawa by Out of Ruins

8) Powerstick made in Ottawa by Ecosol

If you know of a Buy Local initiative in your community, please let us know about it!

    The Peterborough Downtown Craft Market totally supports Shop Local First! Started in September, we are approaching our 10th Market full of unique, handmade local gifts!
