✅ Wild Salmon: Deep-red Sockeye, Spring (Chinook), Coho, and Pink salmon portions flash-frozen at sea.

I put together a directory of 130+ authentic Canadian makers & alternatives (CanadianOwn). What should I add next?
Hey everyone,
Like many of you here, I got tired of seeing foreign conglomerates buy up Canadian brands or companies using maple leaf marketing for products made overseas.
Over the past few months, I have been building a free project called CanadianOwn to catalog authentic Canadian-owned brands, domestic manufacturers, and local alternatives.
Here are a few notable makers cataloged so far across different categories:
1. Clothing & Workwear:
- Stanfield's (Truro, Nova Scotia): heavy waffle thermals and wool underwear knit in Canada since 1856.
- Province of Canada (Toronto, Ontario): 100% Canadian-milled organic cotton basics and loungewear.
- Anian (Victoria, BC): rugged recycled wool overshirts and coats.
2. Footwear & Boots:
- Canada West Boots (Winnipeg, Manitoba): handcrafted Goodyear-welted leather boots.
- Baffin (Stoney Creek, Ontario): polar-tested extreme cold winter boots.
3. Pantry, Coffee & Home:
- Virgin Hill Coffee (Brome Lake, Quebec): family-owned small batch craft coffee roasters.
- Meyer Canada (Charlottetown, PEI): Canada's only domestic stainless steel cookware factory.
- Covered Bridge (Hartland, New Brunswick): kettle chips cooked from dark russet potatoes.
The directory is called CanadianOwn. It is completely free with no paywalls or logins required.
If you would like to browse the full directory or check brand ownership, let me know in the comments and I will gladly share the direct link!
What are your favourite domestic makers that deserve more recognition?
