01 / The origin
Small-town manners.
National character.
Hudson was carved out of a simple idea: that the most Canadian thing imaginable is a beaver who shows up early, keeps his hat straight and holds the door for everyone behind him.
Since his first parade appearance he has become a fixture at rinks, ferry terminals and small-town fairs from Tofino to St. John’s. The uniform is ceremonial. The manners are real.

Loved coast to coast.
“Bought the desk statue for my father-in-law, a retired officer. He put it on the mantel the same afternoon.”
“The keychain is heavier than I expected — real enamel, no plastic feel. Shipped in three days.”
“We hand these out to visiting clients. Everyone asks where Hudson came from. Best souvenir we've found.”
