Growing the Local Economy

You are here: Home / About

About

LOCO BC is working to create a diverse, vibrant local economy by strengthening small and mid-sized businesses. We do this by promoting buy local, by fostering business networking, and by ensuring businesses are on the path to sustainability.

LOCO works to support small local business to create a new economy based on relationships, self-reliance, and local economic development.

We’re not saying you should never buy another foreign made computer or car, but we do celebrate and support what is local to BC, those people and products/services that make us unique and a viable economy.

Our bias for local is based on the principals of sustainability – that local businesses enhance our community, connect and support us socially, enhance wealth and employment by circulating dollars many times between businesses, and environmentally.
