Proudly Canadian. Proudly Hamiltonian. Unmistakably #TheVillage
No more cross-border Big Box store runs needed. We’ve got it all!

Staying north of the border for the foreseeable future? We’ll be here.
Restaurants That Are All That And A Bag of Ketchup Chips.
There’s more to Canada than butter tarts and beaver tails. It’s schnitzel and dim sum and the perfect pour-over too!
You’ll find a little bit of everything that makes Canada special in #TheVillage.
Come eat your way around the world without ever leaving home. Now THAT’S how you serve up Canada on a plate!
Buy Canadian On The Double. Double.
Now’s the time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. Buying Canadian is more important than ever!
Support the bakers, makers, restaurateurs, and independent coffee shop owners that call The Village home. Plus, our local baristas would never judge someone for their year-round iced coffee. It’s a Canadian thing.
The Village Has “Buy Canada” In The Bag.
The Village is a microcosm of Canada. Diverse and proud as H-E-double-hockey-sticks. Sure, we’re polite. And supporting Canadian businesses has always been a nice thing to do. But now more than ever, we need to make our loonies and toonies count.
With rising tariffs, the time to come together and support Canadian small businesses is NOW.
From international cuisines that reflect our country’s rich diversity to family-owned businesses born and raised in Hamilton, it makes sense to #SpendItHere.
Too hard to shop Canadian? Yeah, no.
Not only is shopping Canadian doable, The Village makes it easy. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Shop independent bookstores like J.H. Gordon Books;
- Shop curated collections of Canadian-made goods at Cherry Birch General and Studio 205;
- Gift something handmade-in-Hamilton from Tundra Leather;
- Shop a Canadian-born and bred grocer like Denninger’s Foods;
- Swap the corporate coffee chain for a local shop like Café Oranje;
- Buy new or vintage clothing from Canadian brands at the Salvation Army Thrift Store or VintageSoulGeek;
- Unwind at Joie Day Spa or hire any of our other local service providers;
- Support Canadian creativity at Theatre Aquarius.
New habits are hard to stick to. But not in The Village. We know how to make Canadian shopping stick. Because when you shop The Village, your purchase supports local makers and business owners.
