She says this will also help to make Creston more visible.
Businesses that are participating in the campaign will have pink BC Buy Local Stickers in their windows this week.
The goal of the campaign is to try to shift one percent of spending to a local business, locally grown or locally made products.
This is the first year that Creston is participating.
