Molson in the Community

The Kinsmen Club of Notre Dame and the Lewisporte Lions Club in collaboration with the 2012 Come Home Year Committee were among one of the 21 recipients who shared in the $1-million community grant through the Molson Coors Community Cheer program this year.

The Lewisporte community helped gather 605 cheers in support of a project that sought funding to develop a walking and running track around an existing soccer pitch to commemorative the town’s Come Home Year. The track will also serve as a venue for a host of active living activities such as Special Olympics training, school track events, Relay for Life and other non-profit walk fundraisers.

I received a note from former employee Michael Coss this morning pointing me to a link in Vancouver’s paper “The Province”. I really felt compelled to post a little story to give Michael a huge “shout” for his courage to come back from a tragic incident just a few years ago. Michael’s family was basically told that he would be confined to a bed and likely never to be on his feet again. Just look at this story in the local paper in Vancouver that tells this triumphant achievement for a young man that had the courage to fight to come back. Cheers to you Michael, and all that you continue to do to raise awareness …

I had the wonderful experience of greeting our summer representatives and brand ambassadors this morning. It was my role to talk a bit about Molson Coors and how we want them to represent us as they travel in every part of the country in Canada this summer. I was thrown back to 1981 when I sat in the exact same seat ! My gosh…31 years ago…ten years more than most of this team’s age…yikes !  What hasn’t changed is the focus on common sense, courtesy to our public and responsible promotion of our great beers while in these summer jobs. Be sure to give a …

Did I catch you with the title of this post…good ! I’m hoping that you will “take the pledge” today to help make a difference for those who face challenges with mental health. Sometimes it might just be as easy as truly facing up to the fact that you, a friend, a loved one or an acquaintance, just isn’t their self today.

Confronting this state of mind may just be the first step in truly making a difference for those in need.

When former Senator Michael Kirby asked me if we could share this message and help create awareness for the movement to make a difference in mental health, it was an easy choice.

Perhaps you too will help by taking the …
