(continued from page 1) the World Cup soccer (known as “football” to most of the world) tournament, the Roots United line hit the stores last week and already many have sold out of certain models. As a result, new quantities have been ordered. The collection features 16 teams connected to popular local ethnicities of Canada.

“It truly represents Roots as a company,” says Senior Designer, Special Projects, David Young, of the Roots United football line. “It stands for what Roots is on the inside and outside portraying both Roots staff and customers.” David designed the collection and was involved in the ad campaign that features Haydain Neale from the Toronto-based band Jacksoul (see Page 1) and Marissa Roberto, a Saskatoon-born dance artist of Italian descent.

It was the idea of James Connell, Director, New Media and E-commerce, to feature Canadian-born Neale, whose recently released single ‘One’ (now on Roots radio) talks about diversity and inclusion, also core values of Roots. “With Haydain we were able to build a multi-dimensional campaign that extends past the poster in the window,” says James, who is also behind securing the Vespa motor scooter promotion as a give away in a ballot contest for customers. Roots will also provide current Roots window posters featuring Haydain to Vespa for their 60th anniversary party next week where Jacksoul will be performing. (Visit Roots.com to purchase his first single, ‘One’ on iTunes.)

Both Haydain and Marissa were photographed in the Roots Head Office styled by Joanne (Jojo) Joseph, Associate Designer, Special Projects with David who also coordinated the photo shoot with Senior Art Director Ilich Mejia. Later, both David and Ilich scoured the streets of Toronto creating a picture library of shots that would provide the right ethnic background for the initial images. The pictures were then integrated into different layouts by Graphic Designer Sean Vicary to achieve the final ad artwork.

“Roots United shows the multiculturalism of Roots,” says Ilich. “Though Canada is not participating, it’s here in Toronto that you see the actual spirit of the World Cup where teams from all over find representation.”

The 16 countries featured in the Roots United collection were selected by David along with Raymond Perkins, Director of PR and Special Events. Raymond is also involved in the ongoing Vespa and XM Radio promotions. Both offers are part of the campaign.

“The Roots United campaign is by far the best ads we’ve featured at Roots so far this year”, says Michael Budman, Co-Founder of Roots. Looking at the initial sales figures, customers seem to think so, too.

DINNER IS SERVED… As part of its support of the arts, Roots hosts evening to benefit AGO

This week, Roots initiated the first in a planned series of evenings at the Head Office in support of the arts and other worthy causes. On Tuesday, Roots Co-Founders Michael Budman and Don Green received some 75 guests who paid $650 each for a gourmet dinner prepared by celebrated chef Leo Schipani and a live, far-reaching interview with prominent New York artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel. Funds raised from the dinner are to benefit the Art Gallery of Ontario and its current expansion program. The evening began on the Roots Piazza just outside the Hub where cocktails were served along with oysters, shrimp and salmon prepared and served by Coastline. Guests then moved inside for dinner in the Hub that was specially designed and decorated for the

3

occasion by Diane Bald. The menu featured organic vegetable gazpacho, filet organic mozzeralla di buffalo and pan-seared Ontario spring of lamb. The wine was provided by Dan Aykroyd's Winery Diamond Estates. The highlight of the event was the conversation/interview with Julian Schnabel conducted by Bruce Ferguson, Dean of The School of the Arts at Columbia University. Julian spoke of his background and his journey to becoming an artist; of his relationship with his father and son; of his movies, and of what his work means to him. Later, he demonstrated his little known singing talent, when he performed a moving rendition of Bob Dylan’s Just Like A Woman, accompanied by pianist Terrance Gowan. Guests included an A-list of major achievers and supporters of the arts in Toronto including Heather Reisman, Larry and Judy Tannenbaum, David and Carolyn Cronenberg, Garth and Elizabeth Drabinsky, Jack and Beverly Creed, and Frank Gerstein. It was especially gratifying for guest Matthew Teitlelbaum in his capacity as Director and CEO of the Art Gallery of Ontario.

In a different but no less poignant context, it was also a meaningful event for another guest. Helen Budman, Michael’s mother, used the evening to celebrate her 91st birthday in the presence of her children and grandchildren and many admirers. WELCOMING SUMMER WITH GOOD TASTE Staff usher in new season with barbecue lunch

To officially kick off the summer at the Roots Head Office in Toronto, Roots Co-Founders Michael Budman and Don Green invited staff to a barbecue lunch on Wednesday. Under sunny skies and warm temperatures, the festive meal took place outside on the Roots Piazza adjoining the Hub on the main level. It was a perfect setting for the lunch prepared by guest chef Leo Schipani

Employees lined up for hamburgers, veggie burgers, and hot dogs freshly cooked over an open flame. The lunch also included a healthy combination of salads. Don and Michael addressed the gathering, saying they were thrilled to be hosting the first such BBQ in the new premises and that it was in honour of all the hard work by the staff. As the afternoon progressed, staff members enjoyed fruit smoothies and flavoured gelatos before heading back to work.

ROOTS PROVES IRRESISTABLE TO COMPETITOR Lululemon features “Roots Camp” in its store windows

Last Friday, when we published an item in The Source about the article about Roots published recently in the Globe and Mail, we never would’ve guessed in our wildest imagination what the Globe piece would lead to. Entitled “Goodbye Lululemon, Hello Baggy Pants,” the Globe article paid tribute to the Roots Camp collection.

Last weekend, in an unusual move, Lululemon decided to feature Roots in the windows of its stores in Toronto. The display consisted of a large blow-up of the recent Globe article at the top of which they added in big red letters: "Lululemon supports Roots." In addition, the store window also featured mannequins dressed in Roots Camp attire, with Roots shopping bags placed at their feet. “We take the move by Lululemon as a strong endorsement from a competitor of what Roots does,” said Roots Co-Founder Michael Budman. “It’s an original initiative

4

on their part. We appreciate their recognition and devoting attention to our latest collection, which has proved exceptionally popular since it was launched last month.” GETTING AN ADVANCE LOOK AT THE FALL Roots hosts fashion aficionados as part of “trunk show”

Twice a year, Roots hosts an informal event for fashion editors and reporters to give them a preview of the next season’s collection. It’s often referred to as a “trunk show”. On Wednesday, style mavens from the Canadian media congregated upstairs at the Roots flagship store on Bloor Street in Toronto to get a close-up look at what Roots has planned for the fall. On hand to receive the journalists and explain to them new innovations at Roots was a first class team, led by designers Diane Bald and Denyse Green, accompanied by Nella Walker, Director, Design, and Karl Kowalewski, Director of Leather Products. Along with light fare catered by the nearby MBCo restaurant, the Roots delegation presented select items from the fall collection, with a special focus on bags and men’s and women’s leather jackets. They gave background details on new fabrics, new leathers and new styles featured in the upcoming collection. The turnout was excellent as were the reactions that the collection generated among the fashion cognoscenti. Those in attendance included journalists from Fashion magazine, The Toronto Star, The National Post, The Globe and Mail, Chatelaine, Elle Canada, Canadian Living, Fashion 18, Weekly Scoop, Glow magazine, FQ, Wish magazine, Sir magazine, The Look magazine, and Highrise magazine. Many of the editors requested products that they could use in photo shoots for fall issues of their publications. The items were delivered this week to the various magazines and newspapers. Similar “trunk shows” are now planned for Montreal and Vancouver. GUESS WHO JUST DROPPED IN… Taking attendance of special guests at Roots stores

TEAM ROOTS FOR A GOOD CAUSE Members of accounting department bowl together against hunger

Next week, several employees from the Roots Accounting Department at the Head Office will participate in a bowling fundraiser in Toronto to support the fight against hunger. As part of this event, organized by the Fort York Food Bank, a team of five people bowl together and collect donations for the food bank.

"I'm proud to have the support of my colleagues here at Roots,” says William, who is also a member of the fundraising committee. “I'm looking forward to a fun evening of bowling."

The event, to be held on June 15 at Bowlerama in north Toronto, will involve 25 teams. Each team member collects $100 or more in donations for the food bank. FRESH INK A selection of coverage of Roots in the media

CELEBRATE WITH STYLE Canada Day collection hits stores

The Roots Canada Day line is in stores now as Canadians prepare to celebrate their country’s 139th birthday on July 1. Made in Canada, the collection spans a red, white and blue palette, the first two colours derived from the country’s flag while blue represents Quebec.

Special Projects Designer David Young, with the rest of his team, created this line of products with retro influences from the Seventies. The team has incorporated Canadian details in the products, drawing inspiration from diverse sources like the 1976 Olympics in

Montreal and vintage Algonquin Park elements.

Designed for men, women, kids and babies, the collection includes polyester-cotton double knit pique fabric track jackets, cotton fleece hoodies, and T-shirts in 100% cotton jersey or interlock fabrics. The kids’ line, modeled on the adult collection, has miniature versions of select

designs. For babies, previously designed styles have been recreated in the Canada Day colour scheme

incorporating related graphics. Available in sizes XS-XXL for men and in sizes XS-XL for women. Accessories include mesh visors, baseball caps, tube socks and a poor boy cap made from a specially designed Montreal

lumberjack pattern. Leather goods include the Editor Tote and the Banff Bag designed with the help of Karl Kowalewski, Director, Leather Products. Also making a comeback this season is a limited edition of the Roots negative heel shoes redesigned to suit the rest of the line. Price range: $28 for T-shirts to $128 for track jackets.

POSTCARD TEES Unique print technique used for Canada Day

A new screen-printing procedure is utilized in the Canada Day T-shirt collection available in stores now. The ‘postcard tee’ for men and women, is printed with a unique four-colour photographic heat transfer screen-print.

This procedure creates a one-of-a-kind look. As a result, the garments themselves are consistently true to colour; however the individual heat transfers have an original individual look. The retro look is inspired by the traditional heat transfer prints made

popular by professional sports teams from the 70s and rock bands from the 80s. The T-shirts, available for men and women, come in the Canada Day colour

scheme of red, blue and white. Celebrating the national heritage through images true to Canada, the prints feature the peace tower in Ottawa, a couple of grizzlies having a tasty salmon snack, a moose grazing late in the afternoon, a squirrel busting nuts, and a glorious view of Algonquin Park from the docks of the Roots Lodge at Bonita. Price: $28 PEACE-LOVE-PRIDE Gearing up to celebrate the Pride fest

The first-ever Roots Pride collection for men is soon set to hit select stores across Canada in recognition of the gay community and their annual celebrations in North America.

The line features T-shirts and tanks created by Senior Menswear Designer Rita Shulman. Available in white, the T-shirt and the tank sport the Roots Pride logo.

This logo, designed by Graphic Artist Stephanie Brier, is fashioned in a 1960s graphic-icon style with the ‘Peace, Love and Pride’ theme. Made of a bright and fun palette of summer colours, it reflects the happy attitude of Gay Pride Week. Both the T-shirt and the tank come in sizes XS-XXL.

Accessories include white baseball caps (coordinated by Lynne Morris, Senior Designer, Accessories) and leather bracelets, both embroidered with the Roots Peace-Love-Pride logo. Made in Canada, the collection will be available in select Toronto stores next week, where the Pride Parade is to be held on June 26. In mid-July, the collection will arrive in stores in Montreal and Vancouver where the annual Parade is taking place in both cities on August 6.

Retail prices: T-shirt - $34; Tank - $32; Hat - $28; Leather bracelet - $9

UP FRONT What’s in the Roots window displays this week

Continuing with the on-going theme, stores feature Roots Camp as the main display this week with camp-style posters in the windows. Also featured, as a secondary display, are the much-publicized Roots United visuals as part of the Roots United football collection in stores now. As part of this campaign, posters showing Haydain Neale of Jacksoul with a Vespa are on display in stores. Select top stores also have a real Vespa in view.

Besides the above-mentioned themes, a Father’s Day banner is installed in store entrances. Outlet stores continue to feature Roots swimwear. EMPLOYEES STAND TO GAIN, IF THEY WISH Special offers made available to Roots staff

GREEN TIP # 8 The latest in our series of easy ways to help the environment

Dirty dishes: Increase the load - Be sure to run your dishwasher only when it’s full. And good news for whoever’s on clean-up duty tonight: pre-rinsing those dishes in the sink not only wastes water but doesn’t improve cleaning results. Skip the pre-rinse and you’ll save loads of water. And if you open the door to let dishes dry, you’ll cut out on your dishwasher’s energy consumption by 10%.

SPECIAL DELIVERY Recent letters from the world of Roots

SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND I’m writing to complement two employees at your store in Victoria, BC. Cara-Lee Walker and Katie Hortobagyi did a product search for me after I mentioned that I was looking for a specific item (a tan Lindsay purse) that I was interested in purchasing. They found it and then had it forwarded to a store near me who sold it to me to the great satisfaction of my daughter who received it as a birthday present.

Kate and Cara were courteous and efficient as they put in some extra effort that was effective and much appreciated. Thank you Roots. John Mackay North Vancouver, BC SOUNDS RIGHT As the Manager of the Roots store in Waterloo, I always scout out the mall, looking for new products and ideas for visual displays. I also do comparisons on our customer service with our closest competitors. During the past month or two, I noticed that it seemed our store had some very similar music (Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, and so on) to the Cotton Ginny store in the mall. Recently, I discovered why. Turns out that for the past month or two they've been playing the Roots of Motown CD nonstop. The manager of the store bought it for herself back in April and very quickly decided this was the kind of music she wanted to hear all day everyday in her store.

Now all of her staff are grooving to the music and buying the CD for themselves. Whenever customers ask about the music, they direct them to Roots to pick up the CD. We all know the Roots of Motown CD has been a great success but I thought people at Roots might want to know that it even has competitors singing our praises while on the job! Alison Sochasky Manager, Roots store, Waterloo, Ontario

EVERY BIT HELPS Following up on the various environmental initiatives by Roots reported recently in The Source, I just want to mention our latest contribution here at the Bloor Street store to help make the world more eco-friendly. We decided that also as part of our commitment against global warming that we will no longer be using tissue paper to wrap purchased products unless the customer requests it for a gift. This may be a relatively small gesture but if everyone does their bit, we can all make a huge difference. Brenda Preston Manager, Roots Bloor Street store, Toronto QUALITY TIME I live in Kenora on Lake of the Woods in northwestern Ontario, close to the Manitoba border. In 2001, I purchased a Roots watch with a $150 gift certificate I received from my employer after 15 years of service. In our region, our winters are often rather severe, both in low temperatures and in the amount of snow we receive.

Last December, my family and I were enjoying a day of outdoor activity, sliding and skating on the lake next to my nephew's home. Later in the day, I realized I had lost my watch. I searched in the snow, knowing full well that it might be futile. Although I never found my watch, I was satisfied that I had at least tried. Since then, I’ve missed it many times and have looked for one just like it but without success.

Well, January came and went, and February delivered some brutally cold temperatures. We had more snow, more cold, and finally, we got through another winter. Hallelujah! Then, of course, there was rain. In April, when my nephew's wife was out doing some yard work down by the lake, lo and behold, she found my watch. Not only did it still look like new, it was still running and the time was bang on! Surprisingly enough, the crystal wasn’t even cloudy.

All this to say, I'm happy to have my Roots watch back. Thanks for such a great watch. Keep up the good work. Sheila Shodin Kenora, Ontario A WORD OF THANKS On behalf of City Planning’s Urban Design Section, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Roots Canada for providing us with the use of your facilities [specifically The Hub] at your Head Office for our recent design charrette for the Castlefield and Caledonia Design and Décor District.

In my experience, charrettes are always more successful when conducted in an inspiring space like yours. The high ceilings, the proportions of the space, and the quality of light were a real inspiration to us during the two days we were there.

Again, I sincerely appreciate the public-spirited generosity of Roots Canada in facilitating this design charrette. Robert Freedman, Director, Urban Design Toronto City Hall
