SUMMARY:The Realities of Sourcing in Canada: Navigating Limitations and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Designers are under increasing pressure to source locally\, but the reality isn’t always straightforward. Not everything is made in Canada\, lead times can vary\, and clients still expect access to global brands\, especially at the high end. Even sourcing through Canadian divisions of international companies can come with limitations around inventory\, customization\, and timelines.This session takes a candid look at what can realistically be sourced in Canada today and where designers may still need to look beyond. From appliances and stone to fixtures and specialty products\, we’ll unpack the trade-offs between local and global sourcing\, and how to make smart\, strategic decisions that balance availability\, budget\, timelines\, and client expectations.
