Why Made in Canada Matters: The Benefits of Supporting Local Brands

As consumers, we often focus on finding the best deals and the most stylish products. However, it's important to consider where our purchases come from and the impact they have on our communities and the world. One way to make a positive impact is by choosing products made in Canada.

Supporting local businesses is a great way to keep our economy thriving and create jobs in our communities. By purchasing Canadian-made products, you're directly contributing to the growth and stability of Canadian businesses. This, in turn, creates a more robust local economy and helps to sustain local jobs.

In addition to supporting local businesses, choosing Canadian-made products often means choosing products that are held to high standards of quality and safety. Canadian manufacturers are required to comply with strict regulations and standards, ensuring that their products are safe and of the highest quality. This is particularly important for items such as furniture, where safety and durability are top priorities.

Canadian-made products also tend to have a smaller carbon footprint compared to products manufactured abroad. This is because Canadian manufacturers are often located closer to the end-consumer, reducing the need for long-distance shipping and transportation. This, in turn, helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Finally, choosing Canadian-made products often means supporting a unique and authentic style. Canadian manufacturers and designers have their own unique perspectives and approaches to creating products, making it possible to find one-of-a-kind items that truly stand out. This adds a personal touch to your home and allows you to express your individual style.

In conclusion, choosing Canadian-made products has many benefits, from supporting local businesses and promoting high standards of quality and safety, to reducing the environmental impact and showcasing a unique and authentic style. So next time you're in the market for a new piece of furniture, consider choosing a Canadian-made product and make a positive impact on your community and the world.

SHOP MADE IN CANADA

Since 1986

Canada. We are a tight-knit community of over 38 million united by our shared values & high standards. As a Canadian-owned company aiming to offer some of the finest home furniture handcrafted in Canada, we strive to reflect those values. Since 1986, our family has been an integral part of Canada’s furniture industry as a distributor of imports to small businesses and eventually large national chains. However, our passion for all things Canadian and supporting the local economy led us to establish CanadianFurniture.ca as a sister company, carrying the same industry reputation and offering some of the finest home furniture handcrafted in Canada.

            The roots of our brand stem back to the manufacturing of bed frames and headboards in Mississauga, Ontario years ago. Starting with a small, family-based operation, we had gradually established a reputation within the local market of Toronto & the Greater Toronto Area for producing high quality platform beds locally from scratch. As our manufacturing operation continued to grow, we began delivering our pieces further beyond the borders of Ontario to make our beds accessible throughout the nation. This enabled us to explore the idea of offering a more diverse line of products, leading to the expansion of our manufacturing operations to produce benches and ottomans, as well as team up with a number of local manufacturers to provide a wide variety of offerings to Canadians. Eventually, we were able to establish a reputation for putting our customers first, specializing in made to order & customizable home goods.

            Today, our brand offers a curated collection of Canadian-made home furnishings & decor while retaining our in-house manufacturing roots. We know furniture shopping can be difficult, which is why we offer delivery throughout Canada and are driven to help you design your dream home. From BC to NS, Canada, we’ve got you covered.
