Canada Cool’s popular mascot: ‘Buddy - the sunglass-wearing maple leaf’ is available as a stylish lapel pin, which appeals to both children and adults. The pin comes mounted on a on a 2 x 3.5” card that features fun facts (front and back) about what makes Canada ‘cool’, and I can personalize the special Canada Day cards with your logo.


For orders placed for Canada Day 2008, I will replace the Canada Cool logo on the standard card with your own logo at no extra charge. The price of ‘made in Canada ‘ Buddy pins mounted on Canada Cool ‘Canada Day’ cards ranges from $4 to $5 each. For cards with your logo, the minimum order is 60. The cards are not dated, so overflow can be used another year.

More details about the fascinating Canadian ‘facts’ featured on the cards can be found on CanadaCool.com. The site is a map-based look at Canada, highlighting quirky sights, famous people and notable events. In 2007 it drew 264,298 visitors. Pin sales help support the site.

Buddy pins have previously been purchased by the Millcroft Inn & Spa, The Fairmont Algonquin, the Canadian Hotel Association, the Canadian Chapter of the Society of American Travel Writers, etc. Click for rate sheet / order form (logos can be emailed to [email protected].)
