Why Local Matters

Supporting Communities, People, Stronger Canada

Right now, a lot of people are feeling the pressure.

• Jobs are uncertain.

• Small businesses are struggling.

• Costs are rising.

• And the world feels louder, faster, and harder to trust.

In moments like these, it’s natural to ask:

What actually makes a difference?

The answer is closer than we think.

Local Is More Than a Purchase

When you support a local business, you’re not just buying a product or service.

You’re supporting:

• A family trying to stay afloat

• Someone’s life savings

• A dream built with long hours and real risk

• A community that depends on its neighbours

Local businesses don’t answer to distant shareholders.
They answer to their customers, their reputations, and their communities.

That accountability matters.

The Ripple Effect of Buying Local

Every dollar spent locally travels further.

It helps:

• Keep people employed

• Support other local suppliers

• Strengthen neighbourhoods

• Preserve culture, craft, and character

Local businesses sponsor teams, donate to causes, hire locally, and show up when it matters.

That’s not marketing.
That’s reality.

Why This Moment Matters

Canada is facing real challenges.

Economic uncertainty.
Global tension.
Rising costs.
And systems that don’t always work in favour of everyday people.

Supporting local isn’t about nostalgia or slogans — it’s about resilience.

Strong local economies make strong communities.
Strong communities make a stronger country.

Where MyFavs Fits In

MyFavs exists to make supporting local easier — and more meaningful.

We focus on:

• Real businesses

• Honest services

• Authentic experiences

• People who care about what they do

Not everything worth supporting has the loudest voice or the biggest budget.
Sometimes it just needs to be seen.

Choosing Local Is a Statement

It says:

• You value people over platforms

• You care where your money goes

• You believe in quality, not hype

• You want to be part of something real

You don’t have to change everything.
You just have to choose local when you can.

That choice matters.

Why Local Matters

Because behind every storefront is a story.
Because communities don’t survive on algorithms.
Because trust is built face to face.

And because a brighter future starts close to home.
