Proudly Canadian at the National Home Show
O Canada! This year we celebrate our home and native land’s sesquicentennial. One hundred and fifty years is certainly a cause for celebration. Far too often as Canadians, we tend to shy away from the limelight. More than ever, this is the time to give ourselves a pat, or two, on the back eh? Canada’s 150th anniversary is the perfect opportunity to shine the spotlight on the businesses that call the True North, home. The following are just a few who proudly show-off their Canadian pride. Be sure to visit their booths at the 2017 National Home Show.
Healthy Eats:
With the use of ancient techniques, ShaSha Co. is an artisan bakery that produces a variety of breads and other products that are nutritious, organic and made with all natural ingredients. The main ingredients are even sourced locally.
Shasha Shaun Navazesh, founder and CEO, combined his background in microbiology with his love of baking and started the company back in 1998 in Ontario. It has grown by leaps and bounds. Today ShaSha Co. is the only bakery in Canada that has received a grant from the National Council of Canada.
The Original Ginger Snaps are my pick…they are low in fat and sugar and high on taste! They are also chalk full of fibre and are nut free which means—they are a great go-to snack anytime.
Natural Skin Care:
It doesn’t matter where we are throughout this land that is glorious and free, the ever changing weather is something we all have in common. Mother Nature can certainly wreak havoc on our skin. Crate 61 Organics offers a number of products that can help soothe dry and cracked skin and even the soul with their natural scents.
To help revive your lips, there are a number of balms available. Now, how Canadian is this?!? You have the opportunity to purchase one called Canadian Maple Lip Balm!!
Their selection of body butters includes vanilla-orange and even peppermint-lemongrass. They are packed with antioxidants and vitamins. If Crate 61 Organics doesn’t have the body butter you’re looking for, there’s no need to say “sorry”, because you can request your own personalized body butter!
All raw materials used in Crate 61 Organics creations are 100% natural and no artificial fragrances or chemicals are used.
Fabulous Furnishings:
Looking to turn your house into a cozy home? You can make that happen easily with beautiful furniture proudly made in Canada by a family owned and operated business that has been around for almost 40 years. Whether it’s the latest designs in home furnishings or a piece hand crafted to finish off your home, Alta Moda Furniture is definitely worth visiting. From coffee tables to desks to even children’s furniture, they can help you create the pieces with the look you are going for.
There are a number of reasons to stand on guard, or at least stand up and recognize all that our great country has to offer from sea to sea. This year make an effort and wave that maple leaf proudly and revel in the fact that we are Canadian.
