How these numbers are counted
- Local means the supplier held the LocalBuy Verified Local badge on the day of the order (registered Canadian business, office or shop in the region, GST number checked by LocalBuy staff). A supplier verified later does not make earlier orders local.
- When an order line is only partly local (for example, imported parts), only the local part counts: line spend × the line’s local share.
- Indigenous-owned counts only suppliers with an outside certificate (such as CCIB or the federal Indigenous Business Directory) that LocalBuy staff had confirmed on the order date. LocalBuy does not run its own Indigenous-ownership check.
- Spend is the order value before GST and PST, by order date. Cancelled orders are left out.
