OTTAWA (dpa-AFX) - Browning West, LP, a long-term shareholder of Gildan
Activewear Inc. (GIL. GIL.TO), has decided to nominate eight candidates for
election to the Board of Directors.

Browning West and its affiliates beneficially owns around 5.0% of the company's
outstanding shares.

Browning West initially chose to requisition a Special Meeting because it was
the fastest path to reverse the Board's succession mistakes.

Usman S. Nabi and Peter M. Lee of Browning West commented: 'Although we are
gratified that our efforts have resulted in Gildan's Board setting a date for a
shareholder vote, we believe the Board has once again embarrassed itself and
impugned what little credibility it has left in the lead-up to this week's
Annual Meeting announcement.'
