Also trending on social media is this Toronto based clothing company, The Peace Collective. Combining clothing and philanthropy was the founder, Yanal Dhailieh’s dream, which was made into a reality after reading, “Start Something That Matters” by Blake Mycoskie. The Peace Collective is proud to be Canadian and you can see that by the embroidery design on the front and back of their clothing. Home is Canada, Home is Vancouver and Canadian Built are just a few catch phrases on the clothing.
