UTOPIA, Ontario (June 13, 2023) – The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority has launched an online store offering apparel and maple syrup for sale. The apparel includes t-shirts, hoodies, baseball caps and toques and features Tiffin Conservation Area and Nottawasaga Bluffs Conservation Area emblems designed by local artists.
Earlier this year, 13 artists submitted 28 emblem designs of the two conservation areas through an open submission call. Watershed residents voted for their favourite emblems to be featured on merchandise.
“NVCA’s conservation areas are loved by many watershed and residents, and our new online store gives them an opportunity to support these gems,” said Kyra Howes, Director of Conservation Services at NVCA. “Every day, we strive to provide safe and enjoyable experiences for our visitors through maintaining trails, bridges, boardwalks and other infrastructure.”
Some of these maintenance items include removing hazardous trees, ensuring trails are accessible and clearing snow off of parking lot so visitors have access to our conservation areas.
“To celebrate the launch of our store, we will be offering all apparel at a discount for the first three weeks,” continued Howes. “In addition to contributing to a good cause, we hope our clothing will accompany wearers on their everyday adventures!”
Tiffin and Nottawasaga Bluffs Conservation Area apparel and maple syrup can be purchased on NVCA’s website at nvca.on.ca.
