Why Supporting Canadian-Made Lighting Matters More Than Ever

Why Supporting Canadian-Made Lighting Matters More Than Ever

In our cozy corner of Chilliwack, we've always believed in the power of community. As your neighbours at Silhouette Lights, we've seen firsthand how choosing Canadian-made products creates ripples of positive change throughout our communities. Let's chat about why supporting Canadian businesses, especially in today's changing economic landscape, matters more than ever.

The Real Impact of Your Purchase Decision

When you choose a Canadian-made landscape lighting system from Silhouette Lights, you're doing more than just illuminating your property – you're lighting up our entire community. Studies show that for every $100 spent at local businesses, significantly more stays within our community compared to purchases from international retailers. This means your investment in our premium lighting solutions directly supports Canadian jobs, families, and futures.

Beyond the Price Tag

You might notice that Canadian-made products sometimes carry a slightly higher price tag. But here's the neighbour-to-neighbour truth: Canadians understand the value of supporting local, with 75% saying it's more important than ever to shop locally. In fact, many of our fellow Canadians are willing to pay up to $10 more for the same product just to support local businesses.
