Few people would know the name of David Thompson. Regrettably, even less have read his books and are aware of his exploration of Canada. Over his lifetime he mapped over 3.9 million square kilometers. If we had not stumbled upon his work years ago, nor taken interest in what he did, his name would not mean what it does to us today.

March 25, 2012 marked the 10th year of incorporation for our company. During this time we have been involved in marketing, web development and print design. We have also taken our own interest in building maps. One thinks after a decade, there should be a name and recognition of those who explored this land before us.

We have settled on a company of explorers. It is derived from early Hudson Bay adventurers and intended as acknowledgement to David Thompson, described by historians and considered by us as the “greatest land geographer who ever lived.”
