Prince Edward County has approved a “buy local” campaign in response to the threat of U.S. tariffs.
During Tuesday’s council meeting, council discussed a motion by Councillor David Harrison to implement policies to have the municipality buy Canadian products when it is possible to do so.
The motion also called for the municipality to support the Prince Edward County Chamber of Commerce and Picton BIA in efforts to encourage county residents to buy local products, in an effort to help offset potential losses due to the impact that tariffs could have on the local economy.
The motion was passed, and copies of the motion are to be sent to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Premier Doug Ford, Bay of Quinte MP Ryan Williams and MPP Tyler Alsopp.
