Hilroy Says Sorry for Leaving Newfoundland, Cape Breton Off Notebooks’ Canadian Map
Hilroy says a production error caused the inaccurate map and has stopped distribution while it corrects the artwork, officials said.
- Hilroy Canada notebooks are facing criticism after a map design on the cover omitted Newfoundland, Labrador, and Cape Breton, sparking demands for answers from residents as a new school year approaches.
- The faulty exercise books first hit the market last year, but ACCO Brands, the parent company, stated the inaccurate map resulted from a printing error that went unnoticed until now.
- Teacher Victor Aucoin, upon noticing the error, asked, "Where's Newfoundland? Oh, so we don't exist in Canada, OK!" while Johnathan Goodyear called the design "kind of crazy" and urged a recall.
- Hilroy is apologizing for the oversight and has stopped distributing the notebooks while implementing a "correction plan" to address the map inaccuracies.
- The notebook map also appears to exclude Haida Gwaii islands off the coast of British Columbia, prompting observers to worry the omissions could negatively impact students learning Canadian geography.
