They’re part of our shared Canadian experience. Celebrating iconic Canadian food favourites and the communities behind them felt natural for Roots because they’re part of our story, too.”The collection showcases an assortment of graphic crew sweatshirts, t-shirts, tote bags and baseball caps, each designed to reflect the spirit and story of its partner establishment.
