Development Minister Colton LeBlanc says that with the looming trade war with the United States it’s important to make it easier for the public to identify and buy products from Nova Scotia. The program will allow businesses to apply for a 70 per cent rebate on eligible expenses they incur for adding the “Nova Scotia Loyal” logo to their products.

Joanna Gould-Thorpe, of Avon Valley Floral in Falmouth, N.S., says her company grows plants and flowers for multiple big box stores and labelling is a key part of helping people discover her products. Rebecca Tran, of the Station Food Company, says the government support will help companies with the decision to change boxes, labels and packaging in order to make their products more identifiable as local.
