If you’re a Canadian gal close to my age, you probably remember wanting a Beaver Canoe sweatshirt as a teen. I grew up on a farm two hours away from the city, and waiting to make the trip to buy my first one just about killed me. I remember finally walking into the store, looking around, and eventually realizing the only sizes left were too big. In the end, I really didn’t care, bought the colour I wanted (pale mint green), and wore it very baggy with the sleeves rolled up (pretty much 80’s style anyway).
Fast forward a few years (okay, quite a few years!), and who would’ve thought Target Canada would been carrying the Beaver Canoe brand. The best part is they’ve added a collection for the home that embodies the timeless style of the Canadian outdoors.
Whether you’re looking to add a bit of rustic to your otherwise modern style, cozy up a space with some chunky textures, or liven up a corner with a pop of colour, the Beaver Canoe home collection has you covered. And of course, in true Target fashion, the prices are wallet friendly.
A few of my favourite Beaver Canoe decor picks…
Do you remember wearing the Beaver Canoe brand when you were a teen? Can you recall where you bought it or who gave it to you? What about the colour?
Enjoy your weekend,

We were in Target this week and the first thing I saw when I walked in was a mannequin wearing a Beaver Canoe sweatshirt….it was a serious flashback. And that mirror…It was on clearance at my store and I stood and drooled for quite a while….it’s beautiful.

Flashback is right. I’ve seen the occasional Beaver Canoe stuff at Roots, but this was a little different. I think I’m going to pick up a couple pillows to cozy up our basement.

I totally remember Beaver Canoe ! It was a must have in the 80’s! I travelled from Calgary to West Edmonton Mall for mine…. Grey crew pull over… I loved it!
Shauna Oberg says
West Edmonton Mall for me as well. And the Roots store wasn’t too far away- loved them both!

I loved Beaver Canoe (though to this day, it still seems faintly dirty sounding) but I never got to own one. Maybe I will make my inner 13 yr old very happy this year!
Terry says
I just went online to target and typed in beaver canoe and no results found. Is this collection only in stores?
Shauna Oberg says
Hi Terry, It’s in Canadian Target stores. I was there on Monday and they have some of the pieces in the collection, but it was getting pretty picked over.

I loved Beavercanoe! I will probably get something for my girls, and tell them they need to love it too!

I am a desperate American sooooooo wanting to recapture my youth! HOWEVER, Target will only sell BC in Canada. I wanna cry. Any idea of other resources for a sweatshirt?
Shauna Oberg says
Does Roots ship to the US? Perhaps that’s the best way to get one
