There has been a great deal of interest lately in Buying Local and Buying Canadian, so I invited another local entrepreneur in to talk further about the importance of buying local and buying Canadian.

Donald Fraser and I worked together for many years at Peterborough Green-Up. Donald is now a writer and also runs a local?culinary tour in downtown Peterborough. This popular event takes you into the “backrooms” of restaurants, cafes and local brew pubs for a first hand taste of many great things. Talk to the chefs and owners to find out about new temptations!

Vince Bierworth from the KRUZ and WOLF radio stations is spearheading a Buy Local Campaign in the Peterborough area.? As my guest this week he told about the campaign and why he feels it’s important to support local businesses.

At The Avant-Garden Shop the majority of our gifts and outdoor decor are Canadian made. Vince and I discussed the benefits of this and how successful local businesses in turn support local charities and other businesses.
