This message is important as Canadians are projected to spend an unprecedented amount this holiday season. A new survey from Leger and the Retail Council of Canada finds that Canadians are expected to spend about $900 during the 2023 holiday season. That’s an increase of more than $100 from last year.
One increase noticed in this year’s survey was the upswing in Canadian shoppers looking to spend locally. More than 4 out of 5 respondents expressed the importance of shopping local. That’s up from just under 3 in 4 last year.
