Ever since U.S. President Donald Trump announced tariffs on Canadian goods, consumer concerns have grown over the availability and pricing of Canadian and local products.
In response to tariff threats, Canadian shoppers have become more vigilant, ensuring they support stores that carry Canadian and locally produced goods, regardless of the commodity.
As a locally owned co-operative, Legacy Co-op is committed to supporting Canadian businesses. To help customers identify local products, the store has introduced enhanced in-store signage and labels, highlighting items from Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Western Canada, as well as those designated Made in Canada.
Legacy Co-op strengthens its product offerings through local partnerships. One key initiative includes its modular farm in Yorkton, operating under the Neighbourhood Fresh brand.

The produce is harvested weekly and available the same day on store shelves.
