founded for community…

I am so grateful to be surrounded by the ocean and the mountains, in a town filled with all sorts of adventurous, creative, supportive, lovely beings. Exploring the mountains with my dog, Archie, is my favourite place to be. Driven by my unwavering love for our planet and for the community, Ethos was born.

Rooted in my experiences studying interior design, working in the service industry, and event decorating, my passion for sustainability took a firm hold as one of my purposes in life. Being witness to the amount of waste generated daily, and the amount of litter we are surrounded by almost everywhere that we go is truly upsetting.

I envision Ethos as more than just a refillery & low-waste shop; it is a catalyst for communal change. In a town where close ties create a familial atmosphere, Ethos aims to inspire the residents of Prince Rupert to embrace sustainable living through small, yet impactful, actions. 

With Ethos, I am committed to discovering ways to minimize our environmental impact, by joining and learning with others on a similar path because together, we are the change!

Thank you for being here :)
