Who We Are
Polestar Calendars Ltd. is an independent family-run business owned and operated by Ruth Porter and Julian Ross. We live and work in rural south-eastern British Columbia, in the beautiful Slocan Valley.
Madeleine Perriere and Claire Patzsch look after shipping your calendars out. We also have a fantastic team of sales reps across Canada, Kate Walker & Co., who sell our calendars to your local stores.
We strive to operate in an environmentally-friendly way by printing our calendars on 100% post-consumer recycled paper. We also donate calendars to local charitable organizations and a percentage of December's online sales are donated to the Stephen Lewis Foundation.
How We Got Started
We started in the calendar business in the early 1980s when Julian was at university and needed some help organizing his time. Not happy with the standard business-oriented agendas that were available, he created the Original Student Calendar -- in the process developing the unique three-part time-management format that is the cornerstone of all Polestar calendars.
As our young family grew, we developed a planner to help busy families manage their lives. The Polestar Family Calendar was published in 1988 – the first family organizer of its kind.
In 1999 we created the Polestar Business Calendar, to provide creative time-management for our working lives. Our newest title is the Polestar Planner.
