Ethical, Sustainable, Clothing Brands (Made in Canada, Canadian)
I’m traveling and living in the Vancouver, BC, region for a bit, so I want to shop local and support the following ethical, sustainable, clothing brands that are made in Canada or are Canadian.
I must emphasize that it’s easy for me to care about Canada. Not just because I’m currently in this region, but because I have more than fifty years of personal history with Canada.
I spent childhood summers, and adulthood, deep in Canada’s interior. Childhood friends have always lived in Canada. Canada and Canadians have always been kind to me.
Extended time together means we care about one another. And if one cares about growing in a healthy direction (individually or with others), one chooses kindness—not harm.
