Salutations Everyone!
Recently, I decided that I would like to buy most of my holiday gifts from Canadian-owned businesses; mainly for 3 reasons…
1). I’m Canadian and live in Canada, so I honestly don’t mind keeping some of my money in our economy…
2). I always have a strong-inclination to support others, especially “my own”…
3). The American dollar costs too much for us Canadians!
So I took to one of my social media pages to ask my friends to list the Canadian-owned businesses that they knew about… At first I didn’t get a lot of responses:
Wanjiru.co: http://www.instagram.com/wanjiru.co
Rachel Natalie Rawlins Art: http://rachel-natalierawlins.pixels.com/art
Lush: http://www.Lush.ca
Mike Cassell: http://www.instagram.com/mike_cassell
Then one of the pillars in our community, Pharaoh Hamid-Freeman-founder of One Full Circle, gave me the link to a “GOLD-MINE”: “an international online community directory of Black-owned businesses, organizations and entrepreneurs based in Montréal, Canada.” You’ve gotta check this out, it currently has over 60 businesses listed in this directory!

Thank you so much to those of you who gave me suggestions…
If you guys know of any other Canadian-owned businesses, please post them in the comments below!
