Made in NB: Strong and Free
Posted by Vanessa Vander Valk
Denise Dow noticed on road trips south of the border that the eagle emblem could be found everywhere! She remembers thinking that there was a distinct lack of such displays in Canada. So, five years ago she designed a maple leaf emblem that includes the line "Strong and Free" from the national anthem, and a brand was born! Janice MacPherson has the story.
