Creative Others - Canada Proud!
2016 - When I knew this is where I wanted to call home!
Hi friends,
I grew up in Ireland and last year I proudly became a Canadian citizen. I love being able to call this country home!
Over the past few weeks I have seen and continue to see the real world effects these trade decisions are having on our company, clients, partners, suppliers and even close personal friends of mine and their businesses.
2024 becoming a Canadian Citizen!
I founded Creative Others by focusing on building a community of "Others" regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, neurodiversion and many more other aspects that make our team so special. Seeing choices made to create divide is a tough one as we hold no ill will toward our neighbours to the south yet as a Canadian business and citizen we must live by the values I founded this business on and be more aware of how we conduct ourselves.
Going forward we are going to be conscious about working with Canadian products and suppliers wherever we can. This isn’t about drawing lines and creating divide it’s about making conscious decisions to support our local economy and build resilience within our own creative ecosystem.
Every project we take on is a chance to live our values: community, creativity, and integrity. That means asking where things come from, who’s involved, and how our work can contribute positively, not just aesthetically or functionally, but economically and ethically.
Thank you to everyone who has trusted us to date we will continue to live by our values and always do what we think is right for our clients, .Co-llaborators, Suppliers, Partners and Canada.
With respect,
Troy McNamara
Founder & Creative Director
Creative Others Collective Inc.
