Most importantly, Saks and Nordstrom have quickly entered key Canadian cities and prestigious malls. The higher end department store is something Canada hasn’t enjoyed (beyond Holt Renfrew and Andrew’s). Although initial reports suggest their jewellery departments are struggling, Canadians will eventually get used to purchasing fine jewellery in a department store setting. Tiffany opened 4,700 square foot store in Vancouver – an addition to its flagship store in Toronto and boutiques in luxury retailer, Holt Renfrew, in markets such as Calgary and Vancouver. Tiffany joins Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Gucci, Coach, Lacoste, and Betsey Johnson at elite Vancouver address. “Vancouver is a world class city which we absolutely wish to be a part of and we’re in great company.” Andrea Hopson, Tiffany VP “With the economic boom in BC and a growing assurance that the boom will continue for at least another 4 years…Vancouver customers are very positive and optimistic and confident about the future…..They’re buying high ticket items.” Retail Consultant, Ian Thomas Cartier in Toronto doubles Canadian sales from last year to this year – from $3 million to $6 million annually.

  • Talking to Jewellers
    Talking to jewellers The jewellery retail industry in Canada is made up of a few large retail chains, and thousands of independent jewellers. Below you will find some information and suggestions on approaching independent jewellers and chains. We suggest that you focus your efforts with the jewellers postcards on the jewellery retail chains listed in the “Top 5” document – once these industry leaders support actions to end the trade in conflict diamonds, the rest won’t be far behind. Jewellery Retail Chains Jewellery retail chains will likely have previous knowledge and policies around conflict diamonds and the Kimberley Process. Managers of local stores will not be able to make decisions about joining Canadian Jewellers for Conflict-free Diamonds; the manager will likely refer you to someone higher-up in the chain of command. However, be assured that your visit will be noted, and passed on to decision-makers at the head office! Your visit will be an important part of the overall pressure to encourage these jewellery retail chains to join Canadian Jewellers for Conflict-free Diamonds. Guidelines for talking to jewellery retail chains 1. Pick a jeweller from the “Top 5” document that has a location near to you (visit their website to find local locations, or go to www.canadianjewellers.com for a list of Canadian jewellery retailers near you). 2. On the back of the postcard, sign your name and fill in the jeweller’s name and address. 3. Prepare for questions you might encounter by referring to Q&A documents in your Activist Package. 4. Ask to speak to the store manager.

OVERVIEW Labour Force Trends – Ontario employment increases again in January • Ontario employment figures increased by 28,800 in January for the sixth consecutive monthly gain • Both full-time (+5,300) and part-time (+23,500) employment experienced gains • The unemployment rate held steady at 6.4% compared with the previous month In January, Ontario employment climbed for the sixth consecutive month with an increase of 28,800. January saw gains in both full-time (+5,300) and part-time (+23,500) employment, although the majority of the gains came from part-time employment.
