Molson in the Community

There’s so much to say about what’s been happening here, I don’t know where to start. The Olympics is not just about sports. It’s about people coming together from all across Canada and from around the world. In today’s episode check out the action with hockey fans from coast-to-coast as they gathered to watch the first men’s Team Canada game at the Molson Canadian Hockey House. Listen to Ferg Devins (a.k.a. @MolsonFerg), our very own Chief Public Affairs Officer at Molson Coors Canada report on his trip up to Whistler aboard the Alberta’s Rocky Mountaineer and an interview with Jennifer Botterill who plays on the Canada’s women’s hockey team.  Finally, tonight we took part in a special ceremony to celebrate the First Canadian Gold Medal winner Alexandre Bilodeau. At that event Molson Coors made a very special presentation to Alexandre; don’t miss that story in tomorrow’s Dispatch.

Les Olympiques ne sont pas qu’un ensemble d’événements à caractère sportif. Elles représentent aussi un rassemblement de gens de partout au Canada et dans le monde. Et lorsque le hockey  s’en mêle, on ne peut que s’attendre à toute une fête! Hier était le premier match de l’équipe masculine canadienne de hockey des Olympiques. Si vous n’aviez pas de billet pour assister au match,  l’endroit parfait a Vancouver pour y assister était sans aucun doute  le Molson Canadian Hockey House. Dans le Bulletin d’aujourd’hui, nous vous présentons l’action a l’intérieur de la Hockey House ainsi que des entretiens avec  Jennifer Botterill   joueuse de centre de l’équipe  féminine canadienne de hockey. Voyez aussi un reportage de Ferg Devins, Chef des affaires publiques de Molson Coors Canada qui a voyagé a Whistler a bord du train spécial du Gouvernement de l’Alberta –  The Alberta Rocky Mountaineer. Finalement ce soir nous avons pris part à une cérémonie spéciale en l’honneur d’Alexandre Bilodeau. A cet événement Molson Coors a fait une présentation spéciale a Alexandre, ne manquez-pas ce reportage dans le Bulletin  de demain.

It’s true – our own Ferg Devins, a.k.a @MolsonFerg is celebrating 25 years here at Molson.

A little background: Ferg started his career at Molson 25 years ago after graduating from Queen’s University in Kingston, ON. He has taken on many roles within the company – from a sales rep to a brand manager and to now – the VP of Government and Public Affairs.  Along the way, it has always been clear that Ferg’s passion to give back to the community in which he works and lives is important to him….true John Molson style

Ferg has always actively demonstrated leadership and commitment to the community, volunteering his time and expertise to many organizations.  He has volunteered on a number of boards including the Seneca College Marketing Advisory Comiitee, the Variety Club, The Tourism Industry Association of Ontario, Advertising Standards Canada and the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

Ferg, you are truly a community champion and pleasure to work with every day. Congratulations and have a Molsonjoyable 25th.
