Manitoba Government Launches Campaign to Encourage Manitobans to Buy Local

February 5, 2025

The Manitoba government has launched a new advertising campaign, Support Manitoba. Buy Local., to encourage Manitobans to support each other and grow the Manitoban economy, Premier Wab Kinew and Business, Mining, Trade and Job Creation Minister Jamie Moses announced today.

"Manitobans are united in their resolve to support each other and how we as consumers chose to spend our money can make a big impact," said Kinew. "These past few weeks have made it clear that we need to diversify our economy and trading partners and buying Manitoban or Canadian will help create strong businesses and jobs here in Manitoba."

Support Manitoba. Buy Local. launched today on digital platforms and will expand to billboards and radio, noted the premier. The campaign includes a website that links Manitobans to made-in-Manitoba and made-in-Canada products and businesses.

"We have incredibly innovative entrepreneurs in Manitoba who create world-class products and food that is enjoyed here at home and across our country," said Moses. "This campaign will help highlight how Manitobans can connect with Manitoban businesses, products and services as we move to make our economy more resilient to uncertainty posed by tariffs."
