Canadian minister wears Royer shoes
Canadian finance minister, Jim Flaherty wore a special pair of Royer work shoes to deliver his Budget Speech on January 27.
"We celebrate this year our 75th anniversary and we are proud that the finance minister has chosen to wear Royer footwear for the delivery of the Budget Speech," says L.P. Royer president, Yves Royer.
The Quebec-based safety footwear designer and manufacturer is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year and recently launched a ‘Buy Canadian’ awareness campaign to encourage Canadians to buy domestically-produced goods in order to boost the economy and prevent job losses.
"Our Canadian-made shoes and boots are worn by all trades of the smelter, mining, chemical, forestry and electrical industries, mainly. Therefore, Budget Speech aside, Mr. Flaherty's choice is a pragmatic one. He will also be able to wear these shoes to safely visit Canadian industries and building sites", adds general manager, Serge Boucher. "75 years of history, for a Canadian shoe manufacturer, is clearly worth celebrating. So we are glad to be given this opportunity to share our pride and shed light on the work on all our team members," concludes Mr Boucher.
