Our story

Why we built TrueNorthMarket

A mom-and-daughter team from Ontario, building a home for Canadian-owned businesses.

We're a mom and daughter team from Ontario, and like a lot of Canadians right now, we've been thinking a lot about where our money goes.

We found ourselves wanting to shop Canadian more intentionally, but realized it wasn't always easy to know which businesses were actually Canadian-owned, especially smaller, independent ones without the marketing budget to stand out. So we decided to build something to fix that.

This site is our way of making it simple: a free, growing directory where Canadian-owned businesses can be found by the people who want to support them. No gimmicks, no ads cluttering the page, just a straightforward way to connect local shoppers with the businesses that make our communities what they are.

We're just getting started, and we're building this one listing at a time. If you're a Canadian small business owner, we'd love to have you join us. And if you're here to shop local, thank you for being part of something we truly believe in: keeping our money, and our communities, close to home.
