About Pioneer Spirit

 

ABOUT PIONEER SPIRIT

Hand-poured in Sudbury. Made with Canadian beeswax. Inspired by history.

We are Shawn and Susan, the owners of Pioneer Spirit, a Canadian beeswax candle and bulk-wax business located in Sudbury, Ontario.

We believe a candle should be more than something that simply burns. It should be carefully made, beautiful to display and connected to the people, places and stories that inspired it.

PURE CANADIAN BEESWAX

Every Pioneer Spirit candle is individually hand-poured using pure beeswax sourced from Canadian beekeepers.

Our beeswax is carefully filtered while preserving its natural golden colour and lightly sweet honey-like aroma. We add no paraffin or artificial fragrance. Natural differences in colour, aroma and finish are part of the character of genuine beeswax and make every handmade candle unique.

THE PIONEER SPIRIT CIRCA COLLECTION

One of our proudest creations is the Pioneer Spirit Circa Collection.

These distinctive candles recreate the shapes and embossed details of antique Canadian bottles, jars, dairy containers, soda bottles, inkwells and other historical objects. Designs connected to Toronto, Halifax, Guelph, St. Catharines and communities across Canada allow us to preserve small pieces of history in beeswax.

Some customers light their Circa candles, while others keep them unlit as decorative pieces or add them to collections of vintage bottles and Canadian memorabilia. Either way, each candle carries a story that deserves to be remembered.

MORE THAN THE CIRCA COLLECTION

Alongside our historical designs, we make traditional pillars, tapers, tea lights, votives, sculptural candles, seasonal pieces and gift sets.

We also supply pure Canadian beeswax and candle-making materials to makers, artists and small businesses across Canada. Whether you need a single pound for a personal project or larger quantities for production, we take the same care in preparing every order.
