The Molson Canadian World Hockey Summit kicked off last night at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, ON with a full house of hockey professionals, experts, enthusiasts and media. Over the next three days, the summit will dissect the current state of hockey to identify and address key concerns and issues facing the game today. Topics of conversation will range from an Agents’ Roles with Young Players to International vs. North American Hockey to 2010 Winter Games Evaluation and Women’s Hockey (and many more).
7th Generation Molson family member Geoff Molson dropped by yesterday and today to support the Summit, and we were able to sneak a couple minutes of his time to chat about hockey and Molson Coors with @MolsonFerg.
Rich and passionate conversations about all things hockey can be followed along with photos and videos on the Facebook page and Twitter
Behind the scenes photos at the Summit also on facebook, and more to come later this week. Cheers!
This September 18-26th, thousands of Canadians will take time out of their busy lives to rehabilitate their local shorelines through the removal of shoreline litter in the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. This year Molson Canadian is excited to play its part as a National Sponsor, partnering with the Vancouver Aquarium and WWF-Canada
In 2009, participants removed litter from 2,457 km of shoreline in Canada, making the GCSC Canada’s largest contributor to the International Coastal Cleanup, a global effort to remove harmful litter and aquatic debris from shorelines.
There are two ways to get involved. You can help cleanup by becoming a participant of an existing cleanup, OR, you can organize a cleanup by becoming a Site Coordinator. Groups, families, companies, individuals are all welcome!
Why are we involved? Well, we believe that good business practices include environmental stewardship, and September at Molson Coors Brewing Company is a Month of Action focused on Water. Water is essential to the brewing process – without great water, we can’t make great beer. More about Molson Coors Water Stewardship
There are hundreds and hundreds of cleanups organized across the country, so you’ll most likely be able to find one close to you. Molson Coors employees will be joining the pack to help preserve and restore the beauty that Canada is. I’ll have more details about our involvement in the coming weeks – hope to see our water (and beer!) loving friends join us
Withrow Park, Toronto – beautiful NHL-sized rink for the game
The cross-Canada road hockey tour that raises funds for local community food banks made its stop in Toronto yesterday! What a great way to spend a beautiful Canada Day afternoon. Sunshine, road hockey and over 270 lbs of food collected for Second Harvest Food Bank! Read the full re-cap of the game.
We’re thrilled to be a sponsor of Five Hole for Food – These guys are literally driving across Canada in two weeks, organizing 9 road hockey events, collecting a whole lotta food, and having a couple pints along the way Cheers to Richard and Vic!
Kicking off today in Montreal, the Five Hold For Food Cross-Canada Road Hockey trip begins…Road Hockey with a Purpose. Take a look at the video above to learn more and follow @fiveholeforfood for live updates on Twitter.
It’s been a busy month already with some amazing weather in Ontario! Can’t speak for the rest of the country…but summer has arrived here. Taking advantage of the warm weather, pics from some recent events. Cheers.
The LCBO Queen’s Quay charity BBQ (Toronto) took place on June 4th with all proceeds to Camp Ooch. This was the 19th year of the event, raising $130,000. Pretty awesome – in their first year, they raised $500! Anyone go?
Rickard’s Beer and Broil King were on site
MGD was there too…with the Harley.
Busy!
And farther East…15 Molson Coors employees in Moncton, NB spent an afternoon volunteering at “Maison de Jeunes de Dieppe” . Nice work team!
