A Warm Welcome: Parkland Blankets Gifted to G7 Leaders' Spouses
On June 15th, Traceable Textiles had the honour of extending a “warm” welcome to the distinguished guests of the G7 Summit, an event that brought together leaders from around the world to discuss pressing global issues. Our specially handwoven Parkland Blankets were selected as one of the official gifts to be presented by the federal government, showcasing not only the artistry of Canadian craftsmanship but also our commitment to sustainability and quality.
These exquisite blankets, crafted from 100% rescued wool from Alberta farms, were initially intended to be draped over the chairs at the summit's outdoor cultural event. This was designed to create a cozy atmosphere, reflecting the warmth of Canadian hospitality. However, the blankets found an even more meaningful role when Mrs. Fox Carney, the spouse of the Canadian Prime Minister, chose them as special gifts for the spouses of the G7 leaders.
This unexpected turn of events delighted all of us here at Traceable Textiles. We felt a deep sense of pride knowing that our products were not only appreciated but also being used to foster connections among global leaders and their families. Given the chilly mountain air of Kananaskis, the warmth and comfort of our handwoven wool textiles were perfectly suited for the occasion.
As a company that values both tradition and innovation, we strive to create textiles that resonate with our customers on a personal level. Seeing our Parkland Blankets in such an esteemed setting reinforced our belief in the power of thoughtful design and the importance of environmentally conscious practices.
We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to an event of such significance and for the recognition of our craftsmanship on a global stage. This experience has only strengthened our commitment to producing high-quality textiles that tell stories of both heritage and contemporary artistry.
At Traceable Textiles, we believe that every piece we create has the potential to spark conversations and forge connections, and we are thrilled that our blankets became a part of the memorable experiences shared during the G7 Summit.
