Buy BC program comes to Prince George

Nov 10, 2022 | 4:31 PM

PRINCE GEORGE — A program aimed promoting made-in-B.C. products will be coming to Prince George Save-On-Foods locations.

When you’re out shopping for groceries, you may find it hard to distinguish between Canadian made or B.C. made products and foreign products from the U.S. or Mexico. The Buy BC program is designed to help with that.

The B.C. government says that “consumers will more easily identify local B.C. products when shopping at their local Save-On-Foods store with the Buy BC branding featured at the retailer’s 125 locations throughout the province.” B.C. Minister of Agriculture Lana Popham says that this program will help farmers and growers in the region expand a wider market of shoppers.

Philip Myatovic, owner of Cariboo Growers says that this program will help local growers like himself and others throughout the province.
