BC Buy Local Week is here and @eastvillagevan is a proud partner! Join us as we raise awareness about the impact independent businesses have on our communities and the local economy. Thank you @billywouldshop for being such an awesome local shop!
The average person spends $1635 over the holidays on gifts
traveling, celebrations, dinners & events.
Share your love for local and your dollars have up to 6 TIMES the economic impact of spending with multinationals and 8
TIMES the impact of spending on big online platforms. When you shift your spending to B.C. Local Owned, Local Grown & Local Made products, you indirectly support stronger communities, create more jobs and bring in more donations to local charities from local businesses.
Local businesses recirculate 66% of their revenue to local owners, employees, suppliers and charities, creating jobs supporting BC-owned suppliers & and helping local charities (compared to only 11% for multinationals and 8% for online giants).

If you’re shopping for Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals this season, support local retailers, makers & growers, & support local online businesses!
The average person spends $1635 over the holidays on gifts, gift cards, food/drink & travel. Buying local has 6 TIMES the economic impact of spending with multinationals & 8 TIMES the impact of spending on big online platforms.
Shift your spending to BC Local Owned Businesses, Local Grown & Local Made products & your spending will support stronger communities, more jobs & bring in more local business donations to their favourite charities.
It’s important in this time of high inflation to keep our spending local since local businesses are struggling to recover from COVID impacts, facing labour & housing shortages, high-interest loans & commercial affordability issues . Local businesses are owned by your friends & neighbours!

Everlasting gratitude for the Indigenous people who have been stewards of this land since time immemorial and shared their knowledge with settlers.
Everlasting gratitude to the whole @vancouverurbanfoodforest team, the Capilano University class INTS 335 who worked with VUFFF on the incredible plant ID signs, Environmental Youth Alliance and to everyone who came out today and helped the dream of re-indigenzing and re-wilding cityscapes possible!
