Last week, the City of Ottawa launched a “Shop Local. Buy Canadian” campaign in response to the implementation of new tariffs from the United States.
In these challenging times, it’s more important than ever to show our support for local businesses and Canadian products and services. The Ottawa Festival Network proudly stands behind this city-wide initiative and is fully committed to supporting our local festivals, fairs, special events, and industry stakeholders.
We encourage Ottawa residents to actively engage with and promote local arts, festivals, and Canadian businesses. Let’s continue to celebrate our vibrant community by supporting Ottawa’s dynamic festival scene—whether through attending events, purchasing tickets, volunteering, or championing local artists and performers. Sharing your positive experiences on social media and leaving heartfelt reviews can make a huge difference in raising awareness and boosting these vital cultural institutions.
Businesses and residents can find helpful information and resources in a Tariff Toolkit available on ottawa.ca.
Together, we can strengthen our community and ensure that Ottawa’s festivals thrive.
