THANK YOU to everyone who supported our Nova Scotia Strong fundraiser! We had orders from every province and territory in Canada, many US states, the UK, Germany, Austria and as far away as Australia and New Zealand!!! To see more about our amazing Nova Scotia Strong fundraiser click here.
We are now focused on yet another fundraiser. The founder and president of Countryfied Clothing, Karen Dean, has been nominated as a candidate for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada Woman of the Year campaign.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada’s Man & Woman of the Year is an intense 10-week philanthropic competition between top leaders in communities across Canada. The man and woman who raise the most funds in the country will be titled the National Man and Woman of the Year.
$5 from every shirt sold until June 1, 2022 will be donated to the campaign, with the funds being earmarked for patient programs and education.
Karen's son was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer in July 2020 so she is very passionate about supporting this organization and the more than 155,000 Canadians affected by blood cancer.
Our FIGHTER shirt is a way for anyone to show their strength through whatever battles they are facing, while also showing pride for being an incredible Canadian!
Our NOT TODAY CANCER shirt speaks for itself. Almost everyone has been affected by cancer in some way. Let's support their fight by showing off this amazing shirt!

NEW BOOK AVAILABLE ON AMAZON
We Are Unbreakable: Raw, Real Stories of Resilience is a collection of authentic and inspiring stories about the unprecedented year of 2020 written by 22 incredible women who call Nova Scotia home. In these stories you will find examples of struggle, strength, togetherness and, mostly, of resilience as these remarkable women, from many different age groups and walks of life, share their experiences of living, working, running businesses and parenting through a global pandemic, along with a year of horrific tragedies that rocked the entire province of Nova Scotia in so many ways.
A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to the Nova Scotia Remembers Legacy Society to establish a bursary program aimed at women in rural Nova Scotia who have overcome adversity and barriers to pursue their education and who demonstrate the qualities of resiliency and strength that are captured in the pages of this book.
Twenty-two contributors is of special significance because that is the number of innocent and beautiful souls who were taken from us so tragically in April 2020 in the worst mass shooting in Canadian history.
We will remember them. We will honour them. And we will build a legacy in their memory.
