The introduction of new tariffs has already negatively impacted small businesses in our city. Even more concerning, these tariffs add to a list of many ongoing challenges faced by small business owners. Fortunately, Downtown Kingston remains a vibrant, lively, and exciting place to visit. Many downtowns across North America have not been as fortunate.
However, it is crucial that WE TAKE ACTION—both as individuals and as a community—to ensure it stays that way.
There are many ways you can make a difference.
When you seek local solutions before alternatives, you're investing in the fabric of Kingston. Money spent locally recirculates through our community, supporting jobs, families, and neighbourhood vitality.
Even supporting franchises and chains with local employees contributes to our shared prosperity. Your "local first" mindset helps preserve the unique character that makes Kingston special.
Those delivery fees add up—for both you and our local businesses. By taking a few minutes to pick up your order instead, you ensure more money goes directly to the business owner and their staff, not to third-party delivery platforms.
That personal connection when you walk through the door strengthens our community bonds while protecting local profit margins.
Challenge yourself, your family, and your colleagues to take a meaningful break from online shopping—whether for a week, a month, or whatever works for you.
When you step away from the screen and into downtown shops, you experience the tactile joy of discovery that no algorithm can match. Touch the products, get personalized advice, and remember what shopping was meant to be.
