About Miik Foundation

Miik is a women-owned-and-run sustainable clothing brand made entirely in Canada. We are a small-but-mighty team committed to empowering women with our ethos to Do good, Look good, Feel good. From day one, Miik has been committed to giving back to our communities, empowering women and equity-deserving individuals, and bolstering the platforms of those in need. The Miik Foundation was created to support those causes close to our hearts. A large part of our day-one initiative to contribute positively to Canadian communities is to ensure all women and non-binary individuals receive equitable resources for education. We are honoured to be able to present the Miik Award to Indigenous students.
