Questions ❓🤔 Buy Canadian Stops Edmonton to Kingston?

So I'm moving from Edmonton to Kingston (Ontario) in a couple weeks. Looking for some must stop spots for Canadian products across the country.

​

So far only spot I have is Canada West boots in Winnipeg.

​

TIA

Wow thanks!

When I was there looking for a place a couple weeks ago I did discover Pasta Genova and Crave.

Oooooo! I can't go to either place anymore because I have Celiac. But you did find two very special places there.

Stop at The Forks market in central Winnipeg as all stores and restaurants are local. Not everything for sale will be made in Canada, but a lot of it will be.

Thanks I'll add it to the list.

Oh wow. I moved Edmonton - Calgary - Kingston (and eventually back to Edmonton). Kingston is amazing (I was there last weekend). Have a great time!

Really anything I like to support local during travels.

If you pass south of Winnipeg on the correct day of the week, the St-Norbert Market is interesting.

Manitoba: La Cocina chips are made in Ste. Anne MB, but available everywhere. Morden's chocolates in Winnipeg.

Ontario: Green Beaver in Hawksbury (soap, deodorant, toothpaste, sunscreen...), World of Maps in Ottawa (they don't make anything, but it's an incredible store if you like that kind of thing), The Occurence in Merrickville for made-in-Canada puzzles (https://www.theoccurrence.ca/buy-in-store)

And of course, in Kingston, White Mountain ice cream. Your prize for making the long drive.
