Canada Sportswear Celebrates 70 Years: Honoring Our Legacy and Crafting the Future of Promotional Apparel

This year, Canada Sportswear is proud to celebrate an incredible milestone—our 70th anniversary. As a Canadian family-owned business known for producing promotional apparel, we honor the vision of our founder, Charles Goldfinger, whose journey of resilience and craftsmanship continues to inspire us.

The Legacy of Charles Goldfinger: A Story of Resilience and Craftsmanship

Born in Poland in 1917, Charles Goldfinger’s early life was defined by adversity. During World War II, he learned the sewing skills that would eventually lead to the creation of Canada Sportswear Corp. In 1948, with just fifty dollars, he and his family moved to Canada, where Charlie began working in a Toronto sewing factory. Six years later, his dream became reality when he founded Canada Sportswear, a business built on the values of integrity, quality, and craftsmanship.

Canada Sportswear: 70 Years of Innovation in Promotional Apparel

Since 1954, Canada Sportswear has evolved from a modest garment factory into a leader in the custom promotional garment industry. Our success is built on the legacy of producing high-quality wearables for corporate promotional clients across the country. Our commitment to sustainability and innovation continues to drive our mission of offering Canadian-made wearables that meet the changing needs of the market.
