The Big Picture
Due to the Canadian dollar's decline, some of our prices increased, some didn’t (not yet).
In the past few months, the exchange rate hovered around Cdn. $1.29 - 1.47 per US dollar. Ouch, that hurts ! Bear in mind that the cost of practically all our materials rise with the U.S. dollar. So, such a dramatic loss in purchasing power means HUGE cost increases for us… and that’s on top of the already high labour & operating costs here in B.C.
How to reduce costs and survive – that’s now the big issue. Maybe we’ll move our production from B.C. (Brutish Cost) to "D.C." (Dirt-Cheap), rub shoulders with Who’s Who in the outdoor industry, and save a bundle…
Whatever happens in the future – if you want high-quality Canadian-made goods, NOW’s the time to buy !
On the Bright Side…
Things never looked better for our U.S. customers, who are now able to scoop up FANTASTIC BARGAINS. At the current exchange rate, an item priced at Cdn $130. would cost them only about US $98.00. Amazing !
