Buy Local Cowichan is an initiative of #cowichanstrong supported and facilitated by Economic Development Cowichan, the Downtown Duncan Business Improvement Area, The Discourse Cowichan, Tourism Cowichan, Used.ca, The Chemainus BIA, Cowichan Lake District Chamber Of Commerce, Ladysmith Chamber Of Commerce, Ladysmith Downtown Business Association, and the Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce. Our goal is to assist small businesses affected by the devastating economic interruptions caused by the COVID-19 global outbreak. By encouraging customers to buy the goods and services they need locally, the better chance many business owners will have at making a financial recovery. Small businesses are the backbone of the Canadian economy and provide for our communities far beyond just the products they sell through employment and social cohesion. Buy local to support the comeback!
