Celebrate 100 Years of P&G in Canada

June 4, 2015 by Kathryn 197 Comments

When I visited the P&G factory in Cincinnati, one of the highlights of my trip was visiting the P&G Heritage Centre and learning more about the history of the company. When the husbands of two sisters decided to join forces and create Proctor and Gamble, nobody could have predicted the empire that would result. But with the creation of Ivory soap, the brothers launched a success story that most companies can only dream about.

And in 1915, P&G products came to Canada for the first time, which means the company is celebrating 100 years of being in Canada this year! This infographic highlights some of the key moments P&G has celebrated since the company incorporated in the great white north with just 75 employees.

Take a Look at the Newly Redesigned 50th Anniversary Ford Mustang

There aren’t many people that don’t love the fabulous Ford Mustang and this year the car is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a brand new redesigned look that will have Mustang fans clambering to take a look! I recently received some pictures and information about the new 2015 Ford Mustang and it is one gorgeous and powerful machine!

The meticulous Dr. Drake assigns Latin names to various dragon species, ruminates on why dragons are able to speak, speculates on how they could fly, and explains the true purpose of their notorious hoarding habits.
