DenmanWORKS publishes research on benefits of local shopping

community · 2020-09

DenmanWORKS shared research commissioned by LOCO BC showing that local businesses recirculate more revenue locally, create more jobs, and donate more to charities compared to multinationals. The article encourages increasing local shopping by 10% to boost the local economy and jobs.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
