Honouring Female Strength in the Fibers of our Fabric
Ever wonder what Parkhurst's story is? (Hint: It has to do with a very special mother.) Here it is, in a nutshell...
Established in 1926, the Dorothea Knitting Mill (now Parkhurst Canada) was founded by Louis Borsook, the grandfather of Parkhurst's current President & CEO Steven Borsook.
Dorothea (Dora) Hildred Lipshitz Borsook
Louis named the factory after his wife, Dorothy (Dora) Hildred Lipshitz Borsook, who overcame multiple obstacles in the 1930s as both a woman and a Jew in the pursuit of her career as a medical professional. Her unwavering determination enabled her to establish her own successful private practice as a doctor, while being highly regarded among her peers. She also raised a happy, loving family, despite the many roadblocks on her path. In short, following her passion allowed Dorothea to leave a legacy for her family and many other female doctors.
Parkhurst Canada honours the female strength woven into the fibers of its Canadian fabric.

À quand sa disponibilité? J aimerais bien m en procurer un. Merci
I am hoping that Parkhurst will consider using Paypal as an option to purchase for those of us who don’t use a charge card. If not, could you tell me if you supply any of the stores in Leaside with your products so that I can enjoy buying your wonderful items. Many thanks.
I miss her and remember her fondly. She taught me many things up in Temagami.
