Can you get more Canadian than this? In honour of #InternationalBeaverDay, Sunday, April 7, Roots Canada will be donating 100% of the profits of their Roots x NCC Collection to the Nature Conservancy of Canada / Conservation de la nature Canada, which goes to supporting the protection of our wildlife and natural habitats. Established in 1973, Roots is a premium outdoor lifestyle brand that unites the best of cabin and city. From its early beginnings in a small cabin in Canada's Algonquin Park to its first store in Toronto, Ontario, Roots has grown to more than 120 stores across North America, more than 150 stores internationally. Do you have any Roots clothing?

International Beaver Day recognizes the important role that beavers play in the Canadian ecosystems. Beaver ponds provide habitat for wildlife, improve water quality and can help to reduce the impacts of climate change. Once near extinction, the beaver is now one of Canada's most triumphant conservation success stories due to the introduction of laws to conserve wildlife and the establishment of Canada's first protected areas, such as Algonquin Provincial Park, the birthplace of Roots. Which beaver facts did you know?

Roots plus Beavers is as Canadian as they come -- Roots was created and established in Canada before branching out, and the beaver is our official national animal (along with the horse) and Roots clothing features a beaver as their emblem. The beaver may not be considered ferocious like some countries' symbols, but it is capable of incredible feats of engineering, it is industrious, and it gets the job done. Have you ever heard of any of these other beaver applications?
