Over a year ago two of our banners, Sport Chek and Atmosphere, made a decision that reflects the preferences of their customers. We continuously evaluate the types of products we carry in our stores and from time to time we make shifts in our assortment. We are aware of communications that indicated this decision reflects all of our banners but this is not the case. We are aware of communications that indicated this decision reflects all of our banners but this is only the case for Sport Chek and Atmosphere. Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us, have a nice evening!

Many were shocked this week when PETA announced that Canadian Tire and its affiliates would no longer sell fur products “after being shown how animals were mistreated”.Those who contact Canadian Tire for an explanation are receiving the following carefully-worded statement:

Of course, by removing fur from their stores, Canadian Tire is not respecting “the preferences of their customers”, but denying them the right to choose for themselves.
Many people are shocked and disappointed that Canadian Tire would let animal extremists dictate their merchandising policies. Canadian Tire is one of Canada’s most important retailers of hunting, trapping and fishing equipment – a $4 BILLION business in this country. Don’t they understand that these same activists also oppose hunting and fishing? Don’t they know that the activist websites are already asking when Atmosphere and Sport Chek will also get rid of their down-filled apparel and leather products?
Some have already said they won’t be doing their Christmas – or Boxing Day! – shopping at Canadian Tire “banners” this year. One person who usually buys $5,000 in Canadian Tire gift certificates for his employees at Christmas has decided to look elsewhere. We have even been contacted by a leader of the medical research community who will boycott Canadian Tire because of the danger that extremists like PETA pose to vital medical research.
What Can You Do?
Maybe it’s time to ask Canadian Tire to let their customers – their real customers – decide for themselves which products they want to buy?
Maybe it’s time for Canadian Tire to state clearly whether they support PETA, or the tens of thousands of hunters, trappers and fishers who support their business?
And maybe it’s time to visit your local Atmosphere or Sport Chek to see their fur-trimmed parkas? And if they don’t have any, ask why not?! (After all, they claim to respect “customers’ preferences”.)

The news broke online earlier this week through social media, but The Fur-Bearers have officially verified that two of the corporation’s large subsidiaries are moving away from the selling of fur through three sources.
Sport Chek told The Fur-Bearers: We’re continuously evaluating the types of products we carry in our stores across Canada to bring our customers what they need to support their healthy, active lifestyle. We are managing through our remaining inventory but at this time, we do not have plans to add anymore animal fur trimmed products to our inventory at Sport Chek and Atmosphere locations.
Atmosphere told The Fur-Bearers: Our official reply is that we are not fur free yet – but haven’t purchased any product containing fur this year. We are always evaluating product choices, depending on what customers are asking for. If people are asking for warm coats but fur free coats, that’s what we’ll go for. (Note: Atmosphere has been a long-time supplier of Canada Goose coats)
Canadian Tire told The Fur-Bearers: At this time, only Sport Chek and Atmosphere have been identified.
