A: I've always loved going through my parents and grandparents' closets to find hidden gems to add to my wardrobe. So with Hijulez, I aim to create intentional, timeless pieces that celebrate individuality in hopes that each piece can be passed down for generations. All of our pieces are made in Vancouver, where we use a mix of techniques including natural dyeing, embroidery and screen printing. We make a big effort to be as close to zero waste as possible, using a mix of recycled, thrifted, deadstock and eco-friendly materials, while also ensuring we save all of our off-cut fabrics to reuse for future projects and collections. One of our unique offerings that I'm especially proud of is the lifelong mending and re-dyeing service. This service allows us to work closely with customers to breathe new life into their old pieces, which they otherwise may not wear again.

A: We focus on individuals who want to build a wardrobe of unique pieces made from natural fibres, crafted with ethical labour at every stage of the process. Our goal is for our customers to feel good in their pieces, knowing they are locally made, with origins that are transparent and traceable. We hope this sense of mindfulness and optimism accompanies them every time they get dressed. Q: Is there a 'hero' design? A: It's so hard to pick just one! The Museum Skirt and Trev Button Down have both been bestsellers ever since they launched, but I'm really excited to share what's in-store for spring-summer 2025. Q: What is the price range? A: We try our best to stay within the $100 to $350 range to keep the pieces approachable for the general consumer, while also ensuring we're sourcing the best possible materials for each style.

Create Account While Nicholas Cowen, the organizer, blamed the cancellation on difficulties working with the city, a municipal spokesperson said he had not applied for a permit. The parade 'has become increasingly difficult to organize without disruptions in recent years,' the organization behind the event said in a statement Thursday. 'The working environment with the City of Montreal has deteriorated significantly,' it added. But Cohen didn't apply to the city to hold the event, 'even though the city invited him to do so several times,' spokesperson Nicky Cayer wrote in an email to The Gazette. The July 1 event has only taken place once since 2019. The parade was suspended during the pandemic and returned in 2023 before being cancelled in 2024, when Cowen issued similar critiques of the city. Other festivities marking Canada Day are going ahead as planned, including a federally funded celebration in the Old Port. World Columnists World Toronto & GTA MMA
