Lululemon is in, and Hudson’s Bay is out. The Canadian Olympic Committee and Canadian Paralympic Committee have just announced that athletic apparel brand lululemon is the new Official Outfitter of Team Canada.

This news has rocked the Canadian apparel industry. HBC has been part of dressing Team Canada since 2005, and actually took the spot over from Roots.

Through this partnership, all of us at lululemon are honoured to play our part to inspire, unite and transform the world through sport and share in this excitement alongside all of Canada.”
