#ElbowsUp Canada!
Do you know why 25% is our sale discount?

The sale was to kick off when President Trump announced his tariffs to the world, his "Liberation Day". 

but I had some kinks, so doesn't really have the impact I was going for...lol

Over the past 3 months Canadians have rallied together to show their support and pride in our great country, Canada. 

Many are reading labels wanting Canadian-made goods and services, many have boycotted plans to the USA and many are realizing how important it is to cast your vote April 28th! 

We have always prided ourselves on being a Canadian company manufactured right here on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada!

And we love to see pictures from our customers wearing our apparel! 
Thank you Colin & Joyce for sharing with us! 

Keep your #elbowsup! 

"Recycling/Upcycling" Maple Leaf Mania style!
 If you missed this article in our last MOB Talk Newsletter, I thought I would share again as very appropriate!

 We always have some form of recycling/upcycling going on in the shop...

Donna Law popped in early September sporting her Maple Leaf Patchwork Recycled Denim Vest.

This one-of-a-kind vest is 18 years old and has several more years to go! What excellent condition she has kept it in - you would never know the fabric already had a life before as 2-3 pairs of pants!

Donna lives in Thornbury and enjoys volunteering at the Beaver Valley Outreach Treasure Shop.

Thank you for the time you give back to your community and glad you receive such enjoyment from it. I am sure you are very much appreciated.
 
It is so important to give back to our communities.

Is it Spring?

Love this picture of Bella, our summer student for the past 5+ years, plus she was one of our young designers from 2013-2019 who joined the Tweeny Project at the young age of nine years old!

This picture is spring in April in Northern Ontario! And she is wearing one of our Maple Leaf Mania Recycled Denim Barn Jackets circa 2005-2010

A message from the MOB BOSS...
How are you fairing this 2025?

With all the uncertainty politically and economically this 2025 it has added to a lot of stress to people's lives.

My Ol' Blues has been in Gore Bay on beautiful Manitoulin Island for 28 years now and we have met so many people from near and far.

COVID gave us limitations, but also opportunities. 
Here is hoping we can once again be a little creative in what we do, where we go, and also what/how we purchase. 

We look forward to our yearly travelers, summer residents and weekend trippers. Let's hope we can enjoy each others company this 2025.
 
Remember everyone, this is a political move that will have economic impact BUT it does not change the respect we have for our American neighbours, friends, family members, and customers we have south of our border. ❤️
