Thanks Paul!!! To add another dimension to the celebration, pictures of vacs rebranded for our venerable Eaton’s and The Bay department stores would be most welcome. We saw plenty of Canadian Eurekas and Hoovers and Reginas rebranded as Eaton Viking, Baycrest and Beaumark over the decades before 1990.

Although I don't have any Canadian vacs in my collection, I'd like to wish all our Canadian friends here a Happy Canada Day!

Same here. Also wondering when someone will post up a Canadian Phantom. They are an original and iconic Canadian product rather than a copy of something from the US.

That Baycrest "Selectomatic" Hoover is "merveilleux"! So unique! They even squeezed in the name "Baycrest" into the spot where the round Hoover logo disc would have sat!

I love their central vacs. Not alot of people talk about them but apparently Canada has a huge market for central vacs. According to what one person from Canada told me, newly constructed homes are now required to have a central vac installed to meet the Canadian health code.

Centrals vacs are not mandatory on new home builds in Ontario...I don't know about other provinces.

Antoine, the Electrolux 2100 & LE is one of my favorite Electrolux models of all time! Everything you need without any fancy features that don't really contribute to ease of use or better cleaning performance. And cheap bags & filters & easy to maintain.

Alex - Gary's right, I have never heard of a central vac being mandatory to install anywhere in Canada. However, a LOT of new home builders do install the central vac piping as a standard feature. Who knows, maybe that may be a reason they are so popular here?
