As ‘buy-Canadian’ movements emerge in the wake of the trade war with the United States, Sault Ste. Marie has launched an initiative to label products made locally or in the region.
The ‘Made in Algoma’ sticker initiative aims to promote local products throughout the district.
Items range from “dairy producers to bakers, coffee roasters to craft brewers, are encouraged to display their products with these stickers, signifying their commitment to quality and regional support,” the city said in a news release Tuesday.
Available free of charge
“The initiative highlights the variety of products available from Sault Ste. Marie’s growers and suppliers.”
The stickers are available to local businesses for free while supplies last and can be picked up at the Sault Ste. Marie MRKT and at the Ronald A. Irwin Civic Centre reception.
“After the initial stock runs out, Cliffe Printing has offered affordable pricing, with 50 stickers available for $10 or 150 stickers for $20,” the release said.
“The economic development department encourages all eligible businesses to take advantage of this opportunity to showcase their Algoma-made products.”
