Video Script & Investigation
Gearing up for a trip into the woods? Do you know which camping brands are actually Canadian-owned? Some of the biggest names aren’t. Arc’teryx was born in North Vancouver, but it has been foreign-owned since 2001. Its parent, Amer Sports, is Finnish, with China’s Anta the largest shareholder. Coleman and The North Face are both American-owned. Fortunately, true Canadian brands remain. Kuma Outdoor Gear, Canadian-owned since 2014, builds heated camp chairs in Edmonton, Alberta. Hotcore Products in Burlington, Ontario is 100% Canadian-owned. Suluk 46 has built ultralight titanium gear in Toronto since 2008. And Ostrom Outdoors has made canoe packs in Thunder Bay since 1987. Canadian-owned. Canadian rooted. This is Canadian made.
