Tariff Resources in Brant

Following the United States' announcement to implement tariffs on Canadian aluminum and steel, along with ongoing discussions on additional tariffs for other goods, the County of Brant reassures local businesses and residents that we remain unwavering in our commitment to supporting local businesses, economic stability, and providing the necessary resources to navigate any challenges that may arise.

We understand that discussions about tariffs bring uncertainty and concern for businesses, residents, and industries that rely on cross-border trade. The County of Brant recognizes the potential impact on our local economy and shares the concerns of business owners, workers, and community members. We remain hopeful that a long-term resolution will be found.

In times of economic uncertainty, we encourage our community to come together and support one another. One of the most impactful ways to help is by shopping locally. Choosing to buy Canadian-made products and supporting businesses in Brant helps strengthen our local economy, sustain jobs, and build community resilience. Locally, our Chambers of Commerce have been advocating on behalf of businesses and providing important updates.

Our Economic Development team is here to help your business navigate this evolving environment. We’re happy to connect, provide support, link you with valuable resources, and advocate across industries.

We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available. In the meantime, we encourage businesses to visit the Tariff Resources webpage for important resources.

Together, we can navigate these challenges and continue to build a strong and thriving County of Brant.
