Proud to be Strong & Free: enter our Canada Day giveaway!
I'm a proud Canadian. (I'm also a French-speaking, "pure wool", 12th generation Quebecer, which always makes for an interesting mix!).
I would like you to meet another proud Canadian: Denise Dow from Saint-John, NB. Denise is the creator and the force behind Strong & Free, an emblem she created for Canadians to show their pride. The emblem was first imagined in Denise's backyard, inspired by leaves fallen from her beautiful maple tree and by our national anthem. It's a beautiful symbol for Canada, and one that deserves to be better known.
In business for almost five years now, Denise has succeeded in getting some of her Canadian-made Stanfield's licensed apparel into Sears stores across the country this year for Canada Day. Quite an accomplishment and something to be very proud of! Well done, Denise!
And best of all, they are currently on SALE at your local Sears store for $14.99 a piece, but only while supplies last! So get yours today! Or, you could actually win a set....keep reading...!
Coming this Fall, Denise is introducing THE quintessential Canadian loungewear: the Onesie! Made in Nova Scotia by iconic Stanfield's, it's sure to be a hit! Orders are rushing in, and the product has not even been launched officially yet (value: $67)! But you could win one....read on...!
