Molson in the Community

I was asked to accept an award on our behalf, being naturally curious I set out to learn more about what we were receiving from ProAction. “The John Bitove Sr. Award” is  corporate recognition, ok I figured that out, but why were we, Molson Coors Canada, nominated? 

It turns out we have been involved since 1991, when ProAction began, and have been a part of “Cops helping Kids” ever since. These programs have bridged the gap and helped forge positive relationships between the police and the community where they serve.  ProAction has reached over 350,00 youth, funded over 1,000 police-initiated programs with a total value …

On Friday, May 31st, Corona hosted a giant paint party in the heart of Toronto at Yonge-Dundas Square. Over 7,500 people RSVPed for the event on Facebook to experience what it means to #LiveMasFina at one of the largest paint parties in Canada!
 

Together with our community of fans, we painted, danced and celebrated. People came in as blank canvases and left as works of art!

Want to join us? The next paint party is happening in Montreal on June 14th.

Keep Living Mas Fina!

Earlier this year we asked Canadians from coast to coast to share their stories about how they’ve left their mark as a Canadian, and lots of people started sharing their memories and adventures with us. The Make Your Mark contest ended with us sending 12 lucky Canadians on a weekend trip to Dublin, Ireland!

Upon arrival, the winners tried their hand at Irish dancing, hurling, gaelic football and many more activities as …

What a week, for starters it is National Road Safety Week, so it is not a coinsidence that Arrive Alive launched their 25th Campaign yesterday as everyone looks forward to our May long weekend!  

A reminder that we do have a choice and what we do today will certainly impact our tomorrow. I am certainly looking forward to a couple of ice cold MC67′s on the back patio, but I am enjoying my long weekend locally, I do not have far to go, 200 meters. If you are out celebrating this weekend, remember to download the  FREE TAXIGUY APP, that will call you a cab; the APP is FREE and the Call is FREE. No EXCUSES!!

For the second year in a row, our team in Moncton has teamed up with the food banks of New Brunswick to collaborate on Hunger Awareness Week fundraising efforts. This year our team came together to host a barbeque for more than 350 people, while offering brewery tours, hosting a live radio broadcast, and having members of the Moncton Wildcats hockey team onsite to sign autographs!

Hosted over the lunch hour, the event saw support from dozens of companies in the local business park, including many who donated corporately for the opportunity to host an NHL Playoff viewing party at the brewery during this year’s playoffs.

Marjolaine Deslauriers et moi-même avons eu le plaisir d’assister hier soir à la soirée des Prix Estim de la Chambre de commerce de l’Est de Montréal où Andrew Molson a reçu le prix Orchidée. Le prix Orchidée est remis annuellement à une personne afin de reconnaître leur apport remarquable au développement économique et social de l’Est de Montréal. Une phrase provenant du programme souvenir explique bien pourquoi ce prix lui a été décerné: ‘M. Molson est un homme accessible, généreux, attentif et qui redonne dans sa communauté. Merci de votre engagement!’

Au nom de tous …

Je suis très fière de travailler pour Molson Coors Canada ainsi que pour l’une des plus grandes familles du Québec, la famille Molson. J’y travaille depuis plusieurs années. J’ai débuté en 1981 et en 1992, j’ai pris une pause de 2 ans pour m’occuper de mes enfants. Je suis très reconnaissante d’avoir eu la possibilité de faire un retour comme employée. 

Je suis encore plus fière aujourd’hui parce que la famille Molson a annoncé hier qu’elle fera un don de 5 millions $ à la Fondation du Centre hospitalier de l’université de Montréal (CHUM). Ce don est l’un des plus importants dons de l’histoire du CHUM (http://fondationduchum.com/2013/05/un-don-de-5-millions-de-la-fondation-molson/ ). 

Félicitations à la famille Molson pour leur grande générosité!
