A campaign is underway to encourage Quinte area residents to buy the products made right in this area.
The Quinte Economic Development Commission has officially launched its Proudly Made in Bay of Quinte Region” program.
Executive director Chris King says the last manufacturing labour market study revealed a need to promote products made here.
Signs now identify locally-manufactured products in Smylie’s Your Independent Grocer in Quinte West and Dewe’s Your Independent Grocer in Belleville.
King says more stores will soon be included in the program
