Northern Reflections has been a staple in comfortable Canadian womenswear since the 1980s.  Their corporate social responsibility is part of their business from the paper they use for garment tags, recyclable plastic bags, energy consumption, and sustainable collections.

In 2019, their donations to Brands For Canada totaled over 30,000 units of new clothing. In October this year, Northern Reflections donated 500 Lbs of new clothing for women & youth girls.

Thank you Northern Reflections for being a Brand for Canada!
