BUYING LOCAL IN
SASKATCHEWAN
Economic studies have shown that buying local is one of the best ways to strengthen and grow our economy. Locally-owned businesses are more likely to recirculate your purchase dollars into payments to other local suppliers, which steers more jobs and revenue into our community. At Ecol Laser, we are proud to offer quality office supplies, furniture, and custom printing to the Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert, and Moose Jaw areas in Canada.

Buying local helps the economy. Local retailers return an average of 52 percent of their revenue to the local economy, compared with just 14 percent for the chain retailers, according to study done last year in Salt Lake City, Utah. |
 |
Buying local helps the community. According to the same study, when you spend a $100 at a local business, 58 percent more money on average stays in its community vs. what would have happened if you spent the same amount at a national chain store. |
 |
Buying local is environmentally friendly. Trucks and locomotives are responsible for 25 percent of smog-causing pollution and the majority of the cancer threat posed by air pollution in some urban areas, according to eLocal.com. Locally owned businesses have the ability make more local purchases thus requiring less transportation, resulting in less pollution.
Buying local is a win for all. Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert, and Moose Jaw.
