MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Doug Touchette, in St. Vital Centre, has created an online version of the shopping mall, with Canadian-made products only. Doug Touchette created a virtual mall that sells Canadian-made products only. The Made in Canada Mall (madeincanadamall.ca) launched July 1 and has been averaging a few hundred "shoppers" a day, since then. What sets Touchette's idea apart from other online directories and / or markets is that, at first glance, it looks exactly like a mall directory map you see at St. Vital Centre or wherever, indicating "you are here" and where the various stores are. It's a mall footprint, made to look that way, as shoppers are familiar with that format. 211206 - Monday, December 06, 2021.
