What does it mean to be Canadian?

For me, it’s personal. I was born in British Columbia, studied in Nova Scotia, married an American, and became a father in Tokyo—before returning to Montreal to build a new chapter. Each of those places shaped who I am, but it’s being Canadian that made it all possible.

Canada gave me the freedom to move, to learn, to raise a family, and to tell stories—first as a journalist for the public broadcaster, now as a designer and founder trying to reflect this country’s complexity through art. It’s not perfect. No country is. But I believe in the core idea: that strength comes from diversity, and that opportunity should be shared.

There’s no single way to be Canadian. Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or carry your Canadian identity abroad, whether your roots go back generations or you just arrived yesterday—this place makes space for your story.

As a father, I’m constantly reminded of how lucky we are. Canada gives my daughter the chance to grow up in a country where her identity is not just accepted, but embraced. That, to me, is the promise of Canada.

Wishing you a meaningful Canada Day—from our family to yours.

Bring Canada Home This Canada Day

We’re at a moment in Canada’s story where we’re being asked—again—to consider who we are. Are we a collection of provinces, each distinct and disconnected? Or are we something more—a country that finds unity in its diversity, and strength in its shared ideals?

At Canada Colour, we believe it’s the latter.

Our collection was created to honour each province and territory as its own—but also to show how, together, they form something greater. These prints are small reminders that regional pride and national identity don’t need to compete. They can complement each other. And in a time when division often feels louder than unity, we think that matters.

This Canada Day, bring home a piece of where you’re from—or where your heart is.

Bonne Fête nationale du Québec.
Today, we celebrate the culture, spirit, and identity of la belle province.

Québec has always stood a little apart—fiercely proud, deeply rooted, and visually iconic. From the fleur-de-lys to the blue and white that adorn the provincial flag, it’s a place where history, language, and imagination intersect.

Our Québec print is a tribute to that heritage—clean lines, strong symbols, and a nod to the stories that have shaped this place. Minimalist in design, meaningful by intent.

To everyone celebrating today: profitez bien. 🕊️

Why People Love Canada Colour

There’s something deeply meaningful about seeing our prints in people’s homes—quietly representing where they come from, what they value, or the places they carry with them.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve heard from customers who’ve gifted prints to their siblings across the country, hung them in their family rooms, and found just the right way to bring a bit of their province into their space.

Each piece is printed in Canada and carefully designed to honour the symbols that have defined generations—subtle, modern, and made to last.

Thanks to everyone who’s sent us a message or photo. It truly means the world.

Where light dances across the northern sky and silence holds meaning, Nunavut offers a perspective unlike anywhere else.
Our minimalist designs aim to honour that beauty—quiet, powerful, and deeply rooted in place. A tribute to Canada’s North, shaped by land, light, and legacy.

We just received this photo from a customer who picked up the entire Icon Collection—14 prints in total, one for each province and territory, plus the national flag.

He reached out to us directly after discovering the series and asked if we could help him bring the full collection together. We were more than happy to help out.

Now, the full Canada Colour Icon set hangs proudly in his office.
A daily reminder of where we come from—and what unites us.

This is exactly why we started this project. When someone sees these pieces and feels a connection strong enough to bring all of Canada onto their wall… it means the world. We don’t take that lightly.

The designs may look simple, but getting them just right took time—layers of iteration, design thinking, and respect for each province’s identity. And seeing them come together like this, with care and intention, reminds us why we do what we do.

If you’re interested in collecting the full set or have questions about bulk orders, we’re happy to help.

Thanks to everyone who’s supported Canada Colour.
We’re grateful every time someone makes space for this work in their life.

We’re excited to share that Canada Colour will be taking part in the Concord Pacific Dragon Boat Festival next month as part of the Got Craft Market!

This is one of Vancouver’s most iconic summer events, with over 150,000 people expected along the shores of False Creek. Rooted in Expo 86, the festival has evolved into a powerful celebration of culture, community, and competition—making it an incredible platform to showcase creative work that reflects regional identity.

As someone born in 1986—the same year the festival began—it’s especially meaningful to be part of something with such deep local roots and cultural resonance.

A big thank you to and especially to Rob and Andrea for making space for small makers like us. This will be our first time at one of their events, and we’ve been blown away by how thoughtful and welcoming the experience has been so far.

We’ll have a selection of prints available, including pieces inspired by British Columbia and Canada—and we’re also debuting a new collection at the festival. Details coming soon.

If you’re in Vancouver, come by our tent, say hello, and discover something that feels like home.

Catch us June 21–22 at the Dragon Boat Festival, produced by . More to come!
