Others have covered it well with sharing lessons you’ve learned and tips. But I think you’re fast approaching the fun part - travel and enjoy local activities!

If funds allow you can visit new provinces, cities and towns. Or if you want to stay local a new family or Canadian owned restaurant, takeaway or bar. See Canadian bands or theatre productions!

My favourite part of supporting local has always been knowing how that money gets recycled. Guy behind the bar - pays for his kid’s club, the local grocer pays the baker and enjoys his local roasted coffee. It gets spent over and over.

You’ve done a lot and with that same spirit you can see the people you’re doing business with and reap the benefits of that.
