The Molson Canadian 2010 Mural Project is complete! Over 13,000 Canadian faces represent the final tribute to Team Canada in a giant mural showcased at our Kitsilano brewery in Vancouver.
A little background:
Beginning last February we asked Canadians of legal drinking age to show their support for their 2010 Olympic and Paralympic athletes by uploading an image of themselves cheering on Team Canada. Throughout the year faces were added to the mosaic in four stages, eventually revealing the final image of a Canadian fan draped in a Canadian flag along with the message “Spirit of the Games”.
The 2010 Mural Project in its 4 Stages
Those who submitted their photograph online have received a personal set of mural coordinates enabling them to find their individual photo in the digital version of the giant mosaic. These can be found at: http://www.2010muralproject.ca
And the best news? Molson Canadian also announced that $175,000 has been raised for the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Teams through a $1 corporate donation made to Own the Podium for each photo added to the Mural Project and more than $160,000 raised through the Give’r For Team Canada promotion.
The final mural will remain in place for the duration of the 2010 Winter Games, and is clearly visible to anyone entering downtown Vancouver via the Burrard Street bridge located next to the brewery. A poster version of the mural is available for purchase with the additional proceeds donated to the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Teams. Those interested in purchasing can visit Shop Molson for details.
THANK YOU to the thousands of Canadians who submitted their headshots helping us support our Canadian athletes AND create the nearly 4,000 square foot mural. Are you on the mural? What are you coordinates? I’m at 52 x 44.
Cheers!

Those three words are like cracking open a fresh cold refreshing beer after a long action orientied day of winter holiday fun and enjoyment. To hear the words “Happy New Year” is symbolic of starting anew, looking to the twelve months that lay ahead, putting the previous year into the archives. And what a year we have ahead at Molson Coors Canada. Within weeks we will join our colleagues in British Columbia, on the ground in Vancouver doing the final set up after months of preparation for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Molson Canadian, Coors Light and Molson Export are the official beers of the games…that’s pretty exciting for all of us at Molson Coors and we hope that it will be as exciting for our beer drinkers from coast to coast to coast, our customers, families and friends. Between celebrations and activities at Molson Canadian Hockey House and The Coors Light Hillside Chalet in Whistler…beer drinkers will be sure to enjoy the games with us as they tap into coverage across this great land. As part of our commitment to the games we have worked hard at the Molson Coors brewery in Vancouver to pay attention to our sustainability agenda. We are so proud to have achieved a Sustainability Star. We have also collaborated with the Four Host First Nations and VANOC to create a commemorative lapel pin with the intent of raising $50,000 to initiative the Vancouver 2010 Aboriginal Youth Legacy Program. Through Molson Canadian and Molson Export Fund A Champion Campaigns we have raised $200,000 in support of ten Olympic and Paralympic aspirigin athletes who represent all regions of the country. We are also delighted that Jennifer Botterill from Canada’s Womens’ hockey team, joined the Molson Coors team to help support us in spreading the message for Responsible Choices throughout the year. Yes…2010 is going to be one terrific year and we look forward to raising a glass to the world as Canada celebrates bringing the games to Vancouver British Columbia in 2010. Best wishes to all for an awesome 2010. Molson Coors looks forward to delivering some amazing programs with our exciting portfolio of brands in Canada and all while continuing to engage in the greater community in which we live work and play. We look forward to connecting with you through this community blog and on Twitter and our brand Facebook pages. Cheers ! @MolsonFerg
