10 YEARS FOR THE ECO LINE
2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the creation of our Eco Line. This is a collection of designs with the planet in mind: natural, sustainable fibres, and a reusable purpose.
CHARITABLE CAUSES
Hats for Life Designs has been donating to various local charities from the beginning. The first designs were given away and following that a portion of sales from every in person event is donated to a different local charity on a rotational basis. Charities currently supported: Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), Ottawa Foodbank, Ottawa Humane Society, Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre, Roger Neilson Hospice, Ronald McDonald House Ottawa.
ANNIVERSARY WEEK
Our anniversary falls on Grey Cup weekend and since 2020, also includes the website anniversary!
To honour our 17th year, a portion of sales from each event was donated to Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Centre. This facility rehabilitates birds from Bald Eagles to Hummingbirds and provides information to public to assist in animal safety. Their new green facility is under construction and will host a larger space for public awareness and rehabilitation of more wildlife.
November 2023 marked 16 years for Hats for Life Designs and our return to in person events! To celebrate, we attended the First Annual Holiday Market at Plante Nursery! What a beautiful venue.
November 21-28, 2021 celebrated 14 years in business (20 years since the concept) and 1 year since the website opened. Tree Canada planted 4 trees in a memorial forest in 2022 as part of our legacy. A few bags were sold enabling a donation to The Ottawa Foodbank too. THANK YOU.
