Where do you summer? Camp, the cabin, the cottage, the lake, the chalet, the shack or – my, aren't we fancy – the summer house?

The whole phenomenon of heading to our summer getaway on the weekend is a central part of the Canadian experience. It doesn't matter how much we argue about they're called, our summer getaway spots bring together families, friends, and Canadians. 

The Word of Choice for Summer Home across Canada 

Camp - (We're based in Northern Ontario, so this of course tops our list)! 

• 78% Northwestern Ontario 
• 28% New Brunswick 
• less than 10% in the rest of the country 

Cottage

• dominant in Prince Edward Island (67%) ), Nova Scotia (78%), and Eastern and Southern Ontario, peaking at 89% in Toronto (where a few also refer to "the lake," which is more widely embraced in Manitoba, along with cottage and cabin).
• Pretty well every region admits cottage as an option, but that doesn't mean they have to like it.

Cabin 

• 85% in Newfoundland
• 72 % in Vancouver-Victoria area
• 0% in Ontario 
•  66% in Alberta
• 58% in Saskatchewan

Chalet 

• barely registers outside Quebec, but 21% of English-speaking Montrealers use the term

We're interested to know, any takers on the shack???

Here's to summer! Hope you get to enjoy it out at the camp, cottage, lake, cabin, chalet, or shack!

When we started Ungalli in 2014, it was simply a pipe dream. We wanted to save the world by making clothing from recycled water bottles. We got some weird looks about our idea to say the least. 

Fast forward 5 years later: our pipe dream is our full time job, we've won awards for Ungalli's sustainable initiatives, we ship worldwide, and have recycled almost 500 000 water bottles into clothing!

The only reason our pipe dream came to life was because of the support we received from our community in Thunder Bay. For every nonbeliever we met along the way, there were 5 of you ready and waiting to support us. You know who you are, and we thank you for ALWAYS having our backs. It means the world. 

With great excitement we are proud to introduce the logo for our new Thunder Bay Retail Store, opening March 1st, 2019.

Inspired by the support we've received while starting Ungalli, our store has been designed with space for other local entrepreneurs + creatives to sell their products. A one stop shop for the best of Thunder Bay.

A growing list of the brands you'll find inside our Local Collective:

1. Ungalli Clothing Co. 

2. Wild Badger

Here's to chasing your pipe dream!
