Buy Local Starts June 6

Released on June 1, 2015

The Government of Saskatchewan would like to encourage all residents to support the proclamation to “buy local” the first Saturday of every month.

“We value the contribution of local businesses in communities across the province, and for that reason, want to encourage Saskatchewan residents to buy local,” Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said.  “It’s a gesture of support for all those small businesses that work hard, create jobs and provide us with goods and services year-round.”

There are about 150,000 people employed in small business in Saskatchewan, which is about 30 per cent of the province’s total labour force.  A proclamation to celebrate the small business sector and the importance of buying local came into force on May 11 of this year.

“I would encourage Saskatchewan residents to shop local every day, but particularly on the first Saturday of every month, beginning this week on June 6,” Harrison said.
