Founded in a small warehouse in Toronto almost 60 years ago, Canada Goose has grown into one of the world’s leading makers of luxury apparel.
Late last year, the company announced it would be donating thousands of repurposed parkas to communities across Inuit Nunangat, in collaboration with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK).
The project began in November and is in addition to the company’s ongoing donations of fabric and materials it has made for more than a decade.
All Canada Goose parkas that are deemed unsellable because of a manufacturing error or came through the company’s warranty program are sent to ITK to distribute across Inuit Nunangat.
The Nunatsiavut Government received its first shipment of parkas this past winter, and have distributed them to those in need.
Regular shipments are expected, which may include other products such as snow pants, mitts, snow suits, etc.
