Our company was started by Robert Dickson in 1947. He worked out of his house in the beginning before finally moving to an old Massey Ferguson Dealership building. At that time the company made mostly flags. In 1981 the company split, one half was sold to a textile printer who was printing flags and needed sewers. The focus of the company shifted to mostly custom sewing jobs. We made everything from Girl Guide sashes to inflatable products. In 1987 Bob retired and sold the business to long time employee Brenda Broughton. The name of the company was "Kennedy's Specialty Sewing Limited" referencing the fact that we were more than just flags. Still, people have known us best by the name of "Kennedy's Flags".
- In 1992 we relocated to a new facility at 14 Thompson Crescent.
- Since that time, we have made everything from air bag restraints for Chrysler cars to CSA approved safety harnesses and restraints to Sun Shelters...oh, and of course, flags! We take on all types of jobs, whether it is an order for one flag with a personal logo on it, or an order of hockey bags for an entire association.
-
- To communicate our company as more than just flags has prompted us to once again re-identify ourselves with 2 separate divisions under the "Kennedy House" corporate banner.
- The introduction of our new "Wind Images" label will help us promote all products that lend themselves to the wind...flags, banners, windsocks, pennants and more. We are excited about this new direction as we prepare to offer all kinds of fun things.
- Our Industrial items such as bags, sashes, tents will be promoted under
- "Kennedy's Specialty Sewing" as we offer custom sewing to companies and industry throughout Canada and the United States.
