Shifting keeps your community alive. Instead of having a busy big-box store down the street and empty store-fronts lining your downtown, keeping local business owners "in business" keeps your town alive.

Why Shift to Local First
Every month, you spend a lot of money – on your home, your family, your car, food, clothes… the list just goes on.
So when you think about it, that’s a lot of power you hold in your hands. By shifting 10% of your spending to local businesses and producers, the Ten Percent Shift is really just about using some of that power to make your community stronger and an even better place to live. And provide you with great products and services along the way.
Simple and really, really effective
Okay, we admit the Ten Percent Shift may sound simple on the surface. But that’s the beauty of it.
The Shift doesn’t ask you to spend more – it just says if you change how you spend, you can make a real difference in your community.
The rest of this website will show you how the Shift works and how you can take part in making life better for your family, neighbours and community.
