The Issue

Save Hudson’s Bay – Over 3,700 Voices and Growing!

Hudson’s Bay has been a cornerstone of Canadian retail and history for over 350 years. Now, it stands on the brink of liquidation — threatening the future of thousands of workers, small vendors, suppliers, and even entire shopping centres that depend on its presence.

But there’s still time, and we believe Hudson’s Bay can be saved — with the right leadership, support, and public pressure.


Why This Matters

 • Thousands of hardworking employees will lose their jobs — many of whom have dedicated decades of their lives to this company.

 • Small businesses and vendors, like us, are left uncertain about getting paid or continuing operations.

 • Landlords and malls across Canada will lose a major anchor tenant, creating ripple effects in local economies.

 • And most of all, Canada risks losing a cultural institution — a symbol of our heritage, our history, and our identity.

What We’re Asking For

 


We’re not asking for a bailout.

We’re asking for a second chance — for stakeholders to come together, explore a realistic restructuring plan, and modernize the HBC experience rather than letting it disappear.

 


Liquidation is not the only option. Six stores have already been spared (for now), and public pressure can help influence more positive outcomes.

What You Can Do

 • Sign and share this petition with friends, family, and co-workers.

 • Post it on social media, tag news outlets, MPs, and those with the power to act.

 • Help us spread awareness that Canadians still care — and we’re ready to support a better solution.

We are now over 3,700 signatures strong and growing. Let’s show that Hudson’s Bay is worth saving. For the people. For the culture. For the future.
