Canada GooseSA国际影视传媒檚 decision to remove natural fur from its products by 2022 has been met by SA国际影视传媒渄eep disappointmentSA国际影视传媒� from Rankin Inlet North-Chesterfield Inlet MLA Cathy Towtongie.

SA国际影视传媒淚n (the companySA国际影视传媒檚) announcement, they claim: SA国际影视传媒楾his is significant step forward toward building a more humane and sustainable world.SA国际影视传媒� I cannot disagree with this more. It is messaging like this that harms the Indigenous harvesting industry. Hunting and trapping provides our community with the materials to keep us warm, and provides us with healthy and nutritious foods that are not always accessible in our stores, all of you hunters out there,SA国际影视传媒� Towtongie said in the legislative assembly on Sept. 14. SA国际影视传媒淲hen a large corporation has a large platform and their marketing takes advantage of Inuit and the North, I believe they have a responsibility to promote and help protect the Indigenous ways of life. I believe they have the responsibility to teach their consumers the importance of harvesting for Inuit and why we will continue to use furs.SA国际影视传媒�

Up until this announcement, Canada Goose and Inuit worked well together, collaborating on a number of projects and the company gave away materials in Nunavut communities, according to Towtongie.

But now, she and other Inuit are upset to see a SA国际影视传媒渓arge Canadian company turn its back on us.SA国际影视传媒�

SA国际影视传媒淲e know how this will impact our local economy. Until recently, Canada Goose supported the sustainable and culturally appropriate use of fur. I ask that Canada Goose consider how their announcement and I especially believe our minister of Environment should say that messaging will affect the Indigenous harvesting industry,SA国际影视传媒� Towtongie said to a round of applause from her colleagues in the House.
