With three generations of the footwear industry within her family, from a young age it was pretty clear what Chanii B designer and owner, Chantal Pilon, was going to end up selecting as a career.  Born in Calgary, Chantal has fond memories of working in her family owned shoe shops, from eating lunch in the stock-room on tables made from shoe boxes to competing with colleagues to make the most sales.
