Durable Canvas Tents, Bags & Gear for Mining and Outdoor Adventures
Porcupine Canvas has been crafting durable, heavy-duty canvas products for the mining industry and outdoor enthusiasts since 1983. Our commitment to quality is woven into every tent, tipi, bag, and piece of gear we produce, ensuring they meet the demands of remote and challenging environments. With a focus on innovation and customer-centric design, we incorporate moisture-resistant materials, secure fasteners, and adjustable sizing to create gear that protects users rather than requiring protection itself. Headquartered in Boucherville, Quebec, our team, led by President Brenda Hagerty, combines decades of industry experience with hands-on product testing to deliver solutions that prioritize safety, convenience, and sustainability.Our products are designed using renewable materials, reflecting our dedication to environmental responsibility while maintaining functionality for demanding applications. Recognized with awards such as the Northern Ontario Business Award, we continue to evolve as a leader in specialized canvas equipment through direct engagement with mining communities and rigorous supply chain management.
