Canadian-Made Air Filters: How Camfil Canada Helps Businesses Weather Economic Uncertainty
When a business purchases Canadian-made Camfil filters instead of imported alternatives, the economic impact ripples far beyond that single transaction.
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 19, 2025) - This year has thrown plenty of curveballs at Canadian businesses: rising costs, unpredictable supply chains, and tightening budgets. But for many forward-thinking companies, the solution has been closer to home than they might have expected.
Camfil Canada, manufacturing air filters in this country since 1945, has seen growing demand as businesses discover that locally-made premium air filters aren't just a patriotic choice - they're a smart financial move.

Homegrown Solutions with Real Impact
Camfil Canada Air Filtration Manufacturing
"We're seeing a shift in how businesses approach air filtration," says Darrell Cain, Managing Director of Camfil Canada. "They're tired of the false economy of cheap imported filters that need constant replacement. Our customers want solutions that actually save money over time while supporting Canadian jobs."
Those savings come in multiple forms: lower energy consumption, reduced maintenance requirements, and extended equipment life. For facility managers juggling tight budgets, these benefits deliver both immediate and long-term relief.
Camfil Canada has branch and distributor locations in the following locations: Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Laval, Quebec City, and the Maritimes. This enables it to quickly and effectively supply filtration products across the country.
The company's planned expansions in Vancouver, Laval and Toronto demonstrate that investing in Canadian manufacturing isn't just good citizenship - it's good business.
The Hard Numbers Behind "Buy Canadian"
When a business purchases Canadian-made Camfil filters instead of imported alternatives, the economic impact ripples far beyond that single transaction:
For businesses feeling the squeeze of economic uncertainty, Camfil's approach offers concrete relief. Its Life Cycle Costing tool shows customers exactly how much customers could save by investing in premium filters.
"The math is straightforward," explains Cain. "Our filters might cost more upfront, but they use less energy, last significantly longer, and need fewer replacements. For most facilities, that translates to significant savings annually."
This practical approach resonates with businesses looking beyond flashy quick fixes. Camfil's customers appreciate solutions that deliver on their promises - especially when those solutions are developed and manufactured by fellow Canadians who understand local needs.

"Manufacturing filters here means more Canadian jobs secured, and more business saving money through a focus on quality rather than on cutting corners," says Cain.

Information about TFSA contribution limits now available, says the CRA
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) says it has resolved an issue that prevented people from seeing how much contribution room they had left in their tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs). That information first became unavailable on April 17. CRA spokesperson Charles Drouin told CBC News in an email that the federal agency introduced a new data validation process this year to ensure that tax information submitted to them is accurate. "Upfront validations now advise these filers of errors with their information return submission in real-time and prevent the submission of invalid returns," Drouin wrote. He said the new system would ultimately improve the quality of the data the Canada Revenue Agency receives and allow for any errors to be corrected faster. But he added that "stricter validations and new processes caused delays in receiving and processing the information returns. As a result, there have been delays in processing TFSA annual information returns this year." Each year, Canadians 18 or older get more contribution room in their tax-free savings accounts, which shield investments from taxes. In 2025, for example, the new contribution limit was $7,000. If someone was 18 in 2009 – the year the the savings accounts were introduced – has lived in Canada since then and never contributed to their TFSA, their total contribution limit would be $102,000 as of Jan. 1, 2025. If someone didn't properly track their contributions over the years, though, they could risk going over their limit, which comes with a one per cent interest penalty per month for those funds over the limit. The CRA website notes that posted contribution limits do not take into account any contributions to the TFSA made since Jan. 1, 2025.

Danielle Smith pitches B.C. on pipeline project, saying it benefits ‘all Canadians'
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is making a pipeline pitch directly to British Columbians. Smith told Global News that Canada needs to take advantage of this moment of national unity to respond to U.S. President Donald Trump's threats. 'When you look at the potential for a million barrels a day at today's prices, that's about 20 billion dollars worth of value,' Smith told Focus BC. 'It doesn't just go to Alberta, it benefits all Canadians.' Smith is leaning on the Team Canada approach but does acknowledge that there still need to be work to address Indigenous concerns. 'We hear the environmental concerns and that is why it is good to have Indigenous partners so we can reroute the route, and deal with issues on the ground,' she said. Story continues below advertisement 'I know a few things need to be modified, but we can get to yes.' 2:01 Pipeline dream: Alberta premier makes pitch at Global Energy Show There is still no proponent for the pipeline project but the previous iteration of a pipeline to the coast destroyed the relationship with then Alberta Premier Alison Redford and then B.C.

'Let's go to a port that is already shipping goods, that is ice-free year-round,' she added. B.C. Energy Minister Adrian Dix says the province is opposed to the new pipeline and instead, Alberta should focus on building out the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, which already cost taxpayers more than $34 billion. Story continues below advertisement 'We still need to get some work to get value for that pipeline,' Dix said. 'We have been supportive of that now that taxpayers have paid for it. The idea that taxpayers would subsidize a project that has no proponent makes no sense to us.' Watch the full interview with Smith above.

Thousands of B.C. reservations at risk due to short-term rental regulations: Airbnb
Airbnb, the short-term vacation rental platform, says thousands of reservations in B.C. are at risk of being cancelled and accused the province of rushing out regulations as it cracked down on the industry. Alex Howell, Airbnb's Canadian policy lead, said that the rules requiring short-term rental hosts to confirm that their listings are legal under the changes have already led to some bookings being cancelled. The government has said platforms such as Airbnb can't post B.C. listings without confirming their registration with the province, but Howell said many hosts whose properties qualify can't register due to glitches and other problems with the government's system.

'Typically, we would have worked with a government for six months to do live testing, to make sure that things are working the way they should,' Howell said. 'And unfortunately in this situation, B.C. really just rushed into launching the system that hadn't been fully tested, and that's what's brought us to this situation.' She said that property owners have reported that typos and formatting errors have prevented them from registering with the province, despite meeting all the legal criteria for hosting short-term rentals. The province had said that short-term rentals are being restricted to principal residences, a secondary suite or a structure such as a laneway house on the property, and the policy is meant to open up more units in B.C.'s rental housing market. Howell said the timing of B.C.'s latest rules on short-term rentals is especially harmful, just before the busy summer tourist season. 'Thousands of reservations across the province are now at risk,' she said. 'These are registered, compliant hosts that are failing validation protocols through no fault of their own. 'And this impacts … thousands of reservations across the province, at least 50 per cent of which are domestic travellers who are following their own government's advice to support local and travel within Canada this year.' Howell said instead of waiting until the June 23 deadline — when bookings on unregistered B.C. properties would be cancelled — Airbnb is already contacting affected hosts and guests to offer penalty-free cancellations. 'We think it's irresponsible to wait until the 23rd to alert travellers that there might be an issue,' she said. 'We're trying to get them that information ahead of time so that they can make some informed decisions.' Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon said the province is confident that 'Airbnb will find solutions to their challenges with getting listings verified ahead of the June 23 deadline.' 'We hope that Airbnb will choose to support their hosts in verifying their listings, instead of cancelling their bookings,' Kahlon said in a statement. 'This is new ground for B.C., and we are working through ServiceBC, our short-term rental branch, and the platforms themselves to help hosts comply with the requirements.' The ministry also noted that there are 65 short-term rental platforms operating in B.C., and other platforms have been successful in supporting their hosts to get registered. The Opposition B.C. Conservatives criticized the short-term rental policies of the NDP government, with Prince George-Valemount legislator Rosalyn Bird saying the regulations running counter to the province's efforts to promote local travel. 'How do you promote staycations while sabotaging the short-term rental market that makes them possible in small towns?' Bird said in the statement. 'The premier (David Eby) says 'travel within B.C.', and then his government kneecaps our ability to welcome those travellers.'
