Why Buying Made in Canada Matters: Support Local, Protect the Environment & Strengthen Our Economy
When you choose a Made in Canada product, you’re doing more than just making a purchase—you’re making a difference. At Sun Safe On The Lake Ltd, every piece of our UPF 50+ sun-protective clothing is proudly designed and manufactured right here in Canada. But why does that matter? Let’s break it down.
Minimizing Our Carbon Footprint 🌱
Imported goods often travel thousands of kilometres before they reach your hands, increasing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. By manufacturing locally, we reduce unnecessary shipping, lowering our environmental impact. Plus, our swimwear is made from 78% recycled materials, further contributing to sustainable choices that help keep our waters clean.
Boosting the Canadian Economy 💰
When you buy a Canadian-made product, you’re not just supporting one small business—you’re strengthening an entire network of local manufacturers, suppliers, and artisans. Every Sun Safe piece is created in collaboration with other Canadian-owned businesses, ensuring that your purchase supports jobs and economic growth right here at home.
Providing a Living Wage & Ethical Working Conditions 👷♀️
Fast fashion and overseas production often come at the cost of worker exploitation and unfair wages. By keeping our manufacturing in Canada, we ensure that workers are paid a fair, livable wage and operate in safe conditions. Every Sun Safe purchase helps uphold ethical business practices that respect people and their work.
More Than Just a Purchase—A Commitment to Sustainability & Community 💙
Choosing locally made products means investing in quality over quantity. Instead of cheaply made items that wear out quickly, Sun Safe products are designed to last and be passed down, reducing textile waste. Plus, we give back—2% of sales are donated to the NICU at Soldier’s Memorial Hospital because community support is at the heart of what we do.
