The Distillery District is emphasizing its commitment to local artisans as the 'Buy Canadian' trend gains momentum. With 93% of its shops being Canadian-owned and 30% of products made on-site, the district attracts visitors interested in supporting local businesses. Figures like Lori Dunn of Millicent Vee Knits express excitement about more consumers paying attention to local origins, reflecting a broader patriotic sentiment. Co-founder Jamie Goad and Pure Spirits' executive chef Jason McLaren emphasize the longstanding tradition of promoting local craftsmanship and supporting the Canadian community.
Everything is handmade here, I am the designer, the artist, and I try to source out Canadian yarns when I can.
People are so patriotic now, and it's really exciting.
In fact that's part of our DNA really at the Distillery, for the last 25 years we've been all about local.
Let's support all of the people that work here and produce stuff here, and let's keep the money here.
