The story of Herschel begins in the early 1900’s, in Wick,
Scotland. Peter Alexander Cormack, a barrel maker by
trade, and his wife Annie packed the belongings of their
small home in preparation for the long journey across the
Atlantic to Canada. The government of the time was
enticing families to immigrate through the homestead
program. They gave these families land to farm, to
support the growth of the country. The land that Peter
and Annie were given saw them settle in the beautiful
rolling hills outside of the town of Herschel, whose
population today is counted at 30 residents.
Over a century after that move, Peter and Annie’s great
grandchildren remain in
the business of manufacturing. Instead of barrels,
backpacks and bags are now created. |
