Thank you New Era!

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mendocino for donating 900Lbs of ladies and youth women’s clothing and accessories.

Mendocino was established in 1987 and is a family owned company operating 9 stores in the Greater Toronto Area.


This summer, Mendocino released a capsule collection with Toronto based brand (and BFC supporter!) Peace Collective.

The capsule takes a new approach merging Peace Collective’s minimalism with Mendocino’s femininity. Our collections have been unisex and we’ve  teamed up with Mendocino, a powerhouse in women’s clothing, to create top quality designs and fabrication.” – Peace Collective

Yesterday in partnership with New Balance Canada, Brands for Canada and Finance Minister Sousa visited Gerard Family Resource Centre to donate 100 pairs of new shoes to local children. In case you’re not familiar, there’s a tradition with Minsters of Finance to wear or purchase new shoes on budget day.  The Gerard Family Resource Centre is an organization supporting children, parents, and caregivers in the community.

Minister Sousa and his wife Zenny helped the children pick out various sizes from ~100 pairs of New Balance footwear.

This month we received donations from Toronto based brand Peace Collective. They’re a group of Canadians chasing their passion while giving back to communities.  Peace Collective has helped 7,050 Canadian with nearly 100 volunteers.

Aside from their great efforts with us, they have a one for one model providing meals to children in need. Today every item they sell provides two healthy meals and a snack to a Canadian child through the Peace Foundation.
