The decision to buy products made in Canada goes beyond individual consumer choice; it is an investment in the nation's future. Supporting local businesses strengthens the economy, creates jobs, reduces environmental impact, ensures high-quality standards, and preserves cultural heritage.
Determining which products and brands are Made in Canada can be challenging. That’s why, at Made in CA, we have put together a shopping list that will enable Canadians to source grocery items and brands produced and manufactured right here in Canada.
We encourage Canadians to share this guide with friends, family, and community. If you find a Canadian-made product in your local grocery store that isn’t listed here, we encourage you to submit it for consideration to this list here. We aim to update this guide daily.
Made in CA was founded in 2018 by GTA resident Tyler Campbell, who was 17 at the time, along with his father and uncle, due to frustrations they felt over tariff battles with the U.S. and the unfair practices of other trade partners. They began compiling a list of products and services made in Canada—so consumers could feel confident that their dollars were making the greatest possible impact on the Canadian economy. The website remains a grassroots initiative that is driven by a firm commitment to assist Canadians make informed decisions and support local businesses.
The best of everything is made right here in Ontario...including cars, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, technology, food, clothing, and more.
Your purchase matters. By simply buying Ontario Made products, you are directly supporting incredible manufacturers, makers, retailers, and their employees in your community.
