The “mane” event at the legislature in Edmonton last week didn’t occur inside the legislative chamber; instead it was outside on the front grounds. As part of the 8th annual Government of Alberta employee’s “Take it all of for Cancer,” Alberta’s Deputy Premier, the Honourable Ron Stevens, bravely volunteered to shave off his thick and full head of hair to raise money for cancer research and programs. Molson was proud to play it’s part by donating $1000. Hats off (or perhaps on!) to Deputy Premier Stevens and all those who supported this worthy cause!
A couple weeks ago I wrote about the Molson and Montreal Alouettes Blood Drive. I was recently sent some video from the event, and thought you might enjoy taking a look. The first video is from Alouettes TV.
As the first long weekend approaches, I thought it would be appropriate to also write about a great organization that Molson has been working with for over 10 years – Taxiguy.
Taxiguy is an amazing organization that focuses on getting people home safely. How does it work?
You call one easy-to-remember toll free number - 1-888-TAXIGUY

Automatically directs caller to nearest cab company
A very unique service that Taxiguy offers is its Taxi Dollars Program – taxi currency that can be redeemed as a fare. It works just like a gift certificate… see the video below!

Justin Raymond is the creator of Taxiguy, and he kindly agreed to do a quick interview with me at the arrive alive kick-off about Taxiguy.
As a final thought…for those of you who have children, friends, nieces, nephews, etc. in university and college…maybe instead of sending them money for groceries or gift cards for their birthdays….send them a safe ride home — taxi dollars!
