A new school year is right around the corner in Ontario, which means that back-to-school shopping for in-person learning is on many families' to-do lists. As we asked parents what back-to-school products they’re looking for, we found a range of 'Made in Ontario' products that are registered with the Ontario Made program.

When you purchase back-to-school products made in Ontario, you're not only checking items off your list, but you’re also supporting our local manufacturers and growing our economy! From backpacks to hand sanitizers, here are a few Ontario-made products you might want to consider for your back-to-school shopping list.

Please note: this is a small selection of Ontario-made products to choose from. Click here to view all registered Ontario-made goods.
