Check out these awesome Canadian products and services. Purchasing from local business people means so much. As a Canadian artist, I know! Thank you to all who have supported my art practice over the years. I’m so grateful to do this work that I love.

I will continue to add more products, services and places to this list as often as as I can. Come back soon to see new recommendations! We got this, Canada!

  1. Plenty + Spare Naturals
    Plenty + Spare Naturals sell soaps and shampoo bars last longer than other brands. The products use simple, healthy ingredients that smell great and are gentle on skin. These items make great gifts. I love that there is less plastic to dispose of. I started buying here 8 years ago when they invited me to have an art show, sale and opening reception in their East Vancouver shop!
  2. Skipper Otto
    I have been a member of Skipper Otto for seven years. Skipper Otto is a Canadian food cooperative that connects seafood enthusiasts directly with fishing families. They sell the freshest, highest-quality seafood while supporting small-scale, independent fishers who are committed to sustainable practices.
    Locally Sourced & Traceable: Every piece of seafood is wild-caught and fully traceable, so you know exactly where it comes from and how it was harvested.
    Sustainably Caught: With a focus on eco-friendly fishing methods, Skipper Otto is dedicated to protecting our oceans for future generations.
    Support for Fishing Families: By purchasing directly from fishers through the coop, you’re helping independent Canadian fishing families earn a fair income and sustain their way of life.
    Local Pickup!
    ✨ Sign up with Promo Code 1R1XAQSV — we’ll both get a $20 credit!
  3. The Georgian Court Hotel
    Wether you’re a Metro Vancouverite on a staycation or travelling to Vancouver, Canada, from beyond, you’ll be glad to know you can support the Canadian economy by staying in a luxurious, locally owned hotel. The Georgian Court is owned by Mayfair Hotels & Resorts. I’ve had the good fortune to stay here and had a wonderful experience. They have BC, AB and WA, USA staycation package you should definitely check out if you’re coming from these areas. Squeeze in your fitness routine in fully furnished gym, hot tub your time away, or explore the many, convenient activities nearby. There’s much to choose from in the centre of Vancouver’s entertainment district such as the Queen Elizabeth Theatre or Frankies Jazz Club.
