Economic Nutrition Certification

Become Certified 

Show your customers where your money goes, and how it strengthens your local economy. Economic Nutrition Certification is a three-month program for organizations ready to track how their spending impacts the places we live. Like a nutrition label on food, your Certification Mark gives your customers, employees, community members, funders and more a clear, trusted picture of where every dollar they spend actually goes.

The Township of Esquimalt is partnering with the Shorefast Institute for Place-Based Economies to help local businesses become Economic Nutrition Certified.

Today's consumers want to support businesses that strengthen their communities. Economic Nutrition gives you a clear, credible way to show how every dollar spent with your business supports the local economy.
