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.

Try the P&G Best New Product Award Winners and Put the Best to the Test-Giveaway #PGMom

March 10, 2015 by Kathryn 238 Comments

For over a year I’ve shared information about some of my very favourite P&G products and why those products are a must in my household. And thanks to my relationship with P&G Canada, I’ve learned so much about the work that goes into making the best and most effective products possible. Innovation has been a trademark characteristic of P&G products, from the development of odour-absorbing Febreze to the research and testing that lets Tide provide the best possible fabric cleaning.

Now that hard work from the scientist and researchers at P&G is being rewarded in a big way! In the recent 2015 BrandSpark consumer survey, twenty amazing P&G products received the coveted Canadian Living Best New Product award. From cosmetics and body wash to laundry detergent and toothpaste, it’s clear that I’m not the only one that thinks life is better with P&G in the house!

Give Back in April with the P&G #CleanWater Challenge-Giveaway #PGMom

April 15, 2014 by Kathryn 134 Comments

It’s amazing how easy it is to take clean water for granted when it’s something that has always been a part of our lives. Growing up in North America has given me the understanding that when I turn on a tap, I can drink the water that comes out without any concern. But I did a lot of travelling in my youth and I know from exploring places like Cuba and South Africa that clean water is a luxury in many parts of the world, not a right.

In fact, approximately one billion people do not have clean drinking water, many of whom are children in the developing world. As a result, thousands of children die every day. The P&G Children’s Safe Drinking Water (CSDW) Program helps provide clean drinking water to these people through a water purifying technology developed by P&G. One small P&G purification packet quickly turns 10 litres of dirty, potentially deadly water into clean, drinkable water. Nearly 7 billion litres of clean drinking water have been provided by humanitarian organizations across the globe using P&G packets, helping to save an estimated 39,000 lives in more than 75 countries.

This month, P&G is doing even more to ensure that clean water is available to those that need it by teaming up with Walmart Canada! Until April 30, P&G will donate one day of clean water through the Children’s Safe Drinking Water program for every P&G product sold in Walmart Canada stores or online at Walmart.ca! Just by shopping for the products you love and use anyways, you can help ensure that children in developing countries have fresh, clean drinking water. [Read more…]
