Upswing in buy local movement for holiday shopping
An increasing number of people in Saskatchewan are buying local this holiday season.
SaskMade is one of the retailers that is seeing an upswing in business because of it.
“I think it is quite a big trend and we were kind of a little bit slower on the uptake but it has definitely been doing really well over the last three years,” Amanda Wilkins, retail specialist and business development for SaskMade, said.
“Lots of families are actually kind of doing local Christmases so everyone has to buy a local gift from a local artist or farmer. They are also kind of ‘theme-ing’ their dinners.”
