Live Local Buy Local Campaign
Our Live Local, Buy Local launched Dec 3 2012 with the announcement of the 1st annual BUY LOCAL WEEK in the City of Vancouver and the Province of BC. December 3-9, 2012 will focus the public’s attention on the importance of buying local in the City.
The campaign will raise consumer awareness of the benefits of buying local, connect consumers to great local businesses, and increase local business participation in the movement to build a prosperous and sustainable local economy in Metro Vancouver.
To celebrate Buy Local Week, we developed this fun infographic to celebrate buying local. Please spread it! Click to download the original.
Here are the first videos in a series of 4 that we are producing in partnership with Vancity. They air on The Tyee from December 2012 to December 2013.
