Canada Goose Holdings Inc.
A maker of high-end winter gear, Canada Goose produces down-filled parkas and jackets, knitwear, footwear, and accessories worn everywhere from city streets to polar expeditions. The brand began in 1957 as Metro Sportswear, a small Toronto workshop founded by Polish immigrant Sam Tick that made wool vests, raincoats, and snowsuits; it took the Canada Goose name in 2001. A fun fact: its bright-red Expedition Parka, built for Antarctica's research stations in the 1980s, earned the nickname "Big Red" from the scientists who wore it.
