As Canadians, we have an instinct to spend as much time as we can enjoying the short but sweet summer, and we’re lucky to have an abundance of homegrown companies here creating and innovating essentials that will help us make the most of the season. And the idea of supporting local isn’t just a trend; it’s a way to invest back into our community.
Canadians are resilient and resourceful, which means we’re going to get our outdoor time even if it means embracing the less glamorous aspects of the season like hair-curling humidity, the occasional stretch of rainy days, or co-existing with our pesky bug friends. Whether you’ll be away at the cottage, logging miles on city sidewalks and bike paths, or planting yourself next to the pool for two months, here are a few products from brands that know a thing or two about how we do summer north of the border.
