902 Clothing Company was born out of profound loss of 3 friends among others and a desire to honor the memories of loved ones lost in the tragic Portapique massacre. In the wake of this devastating event, the founders were deeply moved by the overwhelming love and loyalty demonstrated by the Nova Scotian community. The outpouring of support and solidarity inspired them to create a clothing line that not only reflects the resilience and strength of their community but also serves as a symbol of unity and remembrance. Every piece of clothing is designed with the intention of carrying forward the spirit of those who were lost, embedding their legacy into the fabric of the brand.
This collective grief and the subsequent unity galvanized the founders to give back to the community that had shown them such unwavering support. 902 Clothing Company aims to spread the message of “Nova Scotia Strong” through their apparel, fostering a sense of pride and resilience. Profits from the clothing line are reinvested into community initiatives and support programs, ensuring that the strength and love that emerged from tragedy continue to thrive. By wearing 902 Clothing, individuals are not only expressing their personal strength but also contributing to a larger movement of solidarity and compassion.
We aim to give 10% of our net profits to support groups such as:
Mental Health and Counseling Services: Supporting organizations like the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) or local mental health services can provide critical counseling and psychological support for survivors and families dealing with trauma and grief.
Community Support and Resilience Programs: Partnering with community foundations such as the Community Foundation of Nova Scotia can help to create and fund programs that foster community resilience and provide long-term support and healing initiatives.
Victims’ Advocacy Organizations: Donations to organizations like Victim Support Canada can help to advocate for the rights and needs of victims and their families, ensuring they receive the necessary support and resources from the government and community.
