Molson in the Community

Molson Coors donates  $10 000.00 toward the Star City Arena Geothermal project.  The project will see a geothermal heating system installed in the rink enabling the creation of artifical ice.  This will allow the arena to continue to provide the much needed ice time to the town’s residents and to the residents of the surrounding areas, thereby encouraging greater participation in winter ice sports.

Molson Coors …proud to play our part!

Cheers…sagree

The Beer Store in Ontario and members of Local 12R24 will be taking back returns for Leukemia and Lymphoma this coming Saturday and Sunday, May 29th and 30th. Volunteers will be posted at all 440 Beer Stores across Ontario, to invite customers to donate returns from their empty bottles (any and all beer, wine, spirits containers) to Leukemia research. 100% of the money will be sent directly to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in Canada, to support research in Canada.

2,000 volunteers, many of whom are giving up their shift at work to try to help fund a cure for this disease. This could be the biggest bottle drive in the world (and they are currently registering it with The Guinness World Book of Records). Let’s spread the word about this unique bottle drive at The Beer Store and help them make a difference.

This is the 5th bottle drive. results reported year one $220,000, year two $500,001, year three $647,913 , and last year raised $830,007 totaling over $2 million dollars. One year – maybe this year, they can raise $1,000,000. It’s only as successful as beverage alcohol drinkers in Ontario make it by taking back their empties.

Cheers to the management and staff at The Beer Store for this wonderful initiative. @MolsonFerg

Le 30 décembre dernier, Serge Guy et Alex Zarate se sont rendus à la Maison Chez Doris pour aider à servir le repas du midi. Après avoir assisté le chef cuisinier dans la cuisine et ensuite aider à servir le repas, ils ont remis comme cadeau du Nouvel An, une boite de chocolats à chaque femme. Le coût de ces boites a été entièrement assumé par Serge.

Serge et Alex ont tellement été touchés par cette cause, qu’ils ont l’intention d’y retourner pour Pâques. Sur la photo, on voit Serge en compagnie de Rolande, bénévole depuis environ 20 ans, et Alex.

La Maison Chez Doris est un refuge pour femmes en difficulté qui accueille, tous les jours, près de 125 femmes. Les femmes qui s’y rendent souffrent, pour la plupart, de maladie mentale, et certaines d’entre elles sont itinérantes; ces femmes ont toutefois quelque chose en commun, elles sont seules et elles sont démunies.

Bravo à Serge et Alex pour ce beau geste de générosité!

A reminder that The Beer Store locations across Ontario will be calling upon Ontarians to donate your bottle return deposits to support Leukemia and Lymphoma research – this Saturday and Sunday May 23,24.

Management, staff and the UFCW local 12R24 union members are joining together in an effort to exceed the $650,000 raised last year. Molson is proud to salute the efforts of the The Beer Store in helping to make a difference in the broader community and thank our customers and those returning wine and spirit containers for playing a part in this initiative. A reminder as well that all beverage alcohol containers are returnable for a deposit at your local beer store. This includes tetra, plastic and small ready to drink containers as well. Thanks for helping make a difference in the fight against Leukemia and Lymphoma. Cheers ! @MolsonFerg

To rally support for Earth Day April 22nd and @mayormiller ’s Community Clean up challenge April 24th Molson has placed a transport trailer in our parking lot at 33 Carlingview to accept donations of unwanted items from our employees and the greater community. An inspiration by Dr. Kirsty Duncan, our local Member of Parliament, the items will be re-directed to local charities. So…we encourage friends and neighbours or passers by to drop off your uneeded items to the John Molson transport trailer in the parking lot at 33 Carlingview Drive, right next to the Molson Beer Store and help make a difference for someone in need. Thanks for your support…cheers…@MolsonFerg
