Roots

Born from the sentiment that "Anything Roots" makes for the perfect gift, the holidays aren’t complete without a thoughtful gift from Roots. "We wanted to create something that felt like a memory of a holiday card you would see as a kid. Roots is so intertwined with the collective memory of the holidays in Canada, and we wanted that warm nostalgic feeling to shine through. Each scene is meant to represent a familiar Canadian moment that brings people together. Whether you’re playing hockey outside or your car is stuck in the snow, chances are you’re with friends and Roots is present in some way." - Joey Gollish, Creative Director in Residence.

“From the very start, Roots believed in creating products that reflect quality, craftsmanship, the outdoors, and community. Staying true to this vision has been key to evolving the brand that simultaneously reinforces who we are and what we represent.” - Meghan C. Roach, FCPA, FCA    Thank you for the feature Pal Insurance! Check out the full article below:
