Council will keep measures in place until trade conditions with US improve
The City of St. Catharines is taking action to support local businesses in response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods.
This week, City Council approved a temporary “Canada-First” procurement policy, prioritizing Canadian-made products for municipal purchases.
The move aims to strengthen local supply chains, protect jobs, and reduce reliance on imports.
The policy will remain in effect until trade conditions improve.
