Many residents of New Tecumseth are taking the “Buy Canadian” approach a step further, by trying to shop locally as much as possible.
How can you help keep our dollars local and support economic development?

The local chambers of commerce and Businesses Improvement Associations advocate well for local businesses. Unity will have a greater impact. A greater vision is needed to be able to harness the magnitude of talent and skills available locally and within Simcoe County. If we become more competitive we can do more than just keep local money but provide a viable option for all Canadians to buy our products and services.
Too much of our projects are going to suppliers elsewhere. Purchasing decisions are often made by people who don't live here, so they don't share our concerns. With visionary leadership we can anchor future projects in NewTecumseth and Simcoe County.
