IVORY CELEBRATES WORLD KINDNESS DAY THROUGH INITIATIVE AIMED AT SPREADING POSITIVITY

As pandemic leaves many older Americans feeling isolated, Ivory teams up with nonprofit organization Cool & Dope, to deliver care packs to seniors

This year has been especially challenging for both older Americans who have experienced isolation from family and friends due to the pandemic. In celebration of World Kindness Day, Ivory, known for providing a touch of love and kindness, is focused on spreading positivity with the launch of the brand’s Acts of Gentle Kindness initiative.

Ivory partnered with TV personality and mom of three, Catherine (Giudici) Lowe, and the nonprofit organization Cool & Dope’s seven-year-old Chief Positivity Creator, Cavanaugh Bell, to support the elderly and make their days brighter with Ivory gentle care packs.

Each Ivory gentle care pack contains an assortment of items such as Ivory Gentle Moisturizing Body Wash and Gentle Deodorant, designed to be gentle on skin through pure ingredients users will love and trust; socks and a cozy blanket to help them stay warm this winter, along with puzzles and brain games to add some fun and entertainment.

Families can create their own Ivory gentle care packs by using the following gifts for inspiration:

  • Personal care products designed to be gentle on all skin types:Ivory’s moisturizing body wash and Ivory’s gentle deodorant
  • Fun activities to help pass time: crossword or puzzle books, adult coloring books, or a deck of cards or other small games
  • Comfort items to help them feel safe and cozy:soft blanket or throw, fuzzy socks or slippers, soft towels or a robe
  • Special snacks and food for a little treat: homemade baked goods, favorite candy or snacks
  • Household supplies to help avoid extra trips to the store: toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, cleaning supplies and sanitizers
  • Add a personal touch to fill your package with extra love and care: handwritten card or love notes, handmade gifts, artwork drawn by your children or framed photographs

With more than 54 million seniors above the age of 65 living in the U.S.1, COVID-19 has forced many of their family members to end visits to older parents and grandparents, as they are at high risk of contracting the illness. As a result, this has led older Americans to experience feelings of loneliness, which the CDC reports can be detrimental to a person’s health2.

“It’s truly amazing how a simple gesture can have such a positive impact on someone’s day,” said Catherine (Giudici) Lowe. “Seeing the smiles on the faces of the seniors we connected with and how happy it made my son, Samuel, really brought a smile to my face. I encourage parents to create an Ivory gentle care pack because it’s never too early to teach your children how to be kind to others, especially those in need.”

Catherine and Cavanaugh are encouraging families to get involved and spread kindness in their communities by creating and distributing their own care packs. With the help of Ivory, Cool & Dope can launch and maintain over 15 mobile pantries in and around Gaithersburg, MD through summer 2021, distributing additional care packs to older Americans.

“Everyone has the power to make a change and do good. That’s why I always say that anyone can have an impact – no matter their age,” said Cavanaugh Bell. “I hope moms and kids from all over the country make care packs for the senior citizens in their community so that our elderly know that they are loved.”

“This year, the world needs acts of kindness now more than ever as the pandemic has left many feeling isolated. For more than 100 years, Ivory has stood for passing down a touch of love and kindness from generation to generation. On World Kindness Day, we’re proud to create a way for young children to bring joy to older Americans living in their community,” said Freddy Bharucha, senior vice president, North America Personal Care, Procter & Gamble.

Clean Energy Frontier Region to lead Canada’s next generation of nuclear technology

TIVERTON, ON, Nov. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today’s announcement from the Province of Ontario outlining an ongoing commitment to nuclear power – including development of new nuclear technologies – continues to expand the range of future opportunities for the Bruce Power site and aligns with the company’s strategy to contribute to a Net Zero Canada by 2050. 

The Clean Energy Frontier Region, including Bruce, Grey and Huron counties, is home to Bruce Power, more than 60 nuclear companies, Ontario’s Nuclear Innovation Institute (NII) and key electricity transmission lines that are connected to the fastest growing parts of the province, all bolstered by strong community support.

“Our Life-Extension Program is a fundamental contributor to providing Ontario’s residents and businesses with clean, affordable electricity and life-saving medical isotopes for the long term, which includes advancing new technologies that leverage our current infrastructure,” said Mike Rencheck, Bruce Power’s President and CEO. “We have established a capability in this region that will allow us to be home to new technologies including small modular reactors (SMRs), and hydrogen production.” 

Along with New Brunswick Power, SaskPower and Ontario Power Generation, Bruce Power has been moving forward on developing a strategy for the use of SMRs since the Ontario, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan provincial governments signed a Memorandum of Understanding last year. The MOU will put in place a framework for action on the deployment of SMRs in their respective jurisdictions. Bruce Power will continue to play a part in this important work and is supportive of the work being advanced by OPG, SaskPower and NB Power in the regions they operate.

“Bruce Power has been and continues to be at the forefront of innovation while providing reliable, affordable energy to Ontario consumers,” said Bill Walker, Associate Minister of Energy, and MPP, Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound.  “Our government supports the development of small modular reactors in Ontario and supports the efforts of Bruce Power in its pursuit of next generation nuclear technologies to power a clean and prosperous future for our province and beyond. 

“This has the potential to build on the life extension project underway at Bruce Power with a host community and champion that will bring these technologies forward in the years to come.” 

In order to advance this future opportunity, the Bruce Power Centre for Next Generation Nuclear was launched in August with Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Greg Rickford, Ontario’s Minister of Energy, Northern Development and Mines, and Minister of Indigenous Affairs, to explore paths to develop innovative energy sources such as SMRs and hydrogen power.

“Our government, alongside our provincial and industry partners, is leading the charge on SMR deployment in Canada,” said Rickford. “We are leveraging our nuclear expertise and bringing our made-in-Ontario technology to the forefront to lead the world in the next generation of nuclear innovation.” 

The announcement by the province aligns with Bruce Power’s Net Zero 2050 strategy, launched in October which will see the Bruce Power Centre for Next Generation Nuclear at the Nuclear Innovation Institute carry out the following activities in 2021 to expand opportunities for the region. 

These include: 

  • A study into the next 50 years of the Bruce Power site – as the world’s largest operating nuclear facility, expanded transmission capability with assets that can be optimized, enhanced, leveraged and life extended, Bruce Power can have a profound impact on Canada’s clean energy future.
  • Examining the role of new nuclear and fusion energy technology as part of a clean energy future alongside existing Bruce Power nuclear production. This will include grid-scale SMRs with Ontario-based Terrestrial Energy and micro reactors.
  • A Hydrogen Unity Project. At a time when there are divisions in Canada on energy issues, we need solutions for all provinces. The Centre will evaluate mass production of hydrogen using nuclear technology and opportunities for alignment with the oil and gas, transportation and electricity generation sectors. This work will explore economic benefits and regional opportunities for greenhouse gas reduction.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world, placing greater importance on global human health along with retooling and economic recovery need to be integrated with achieving net zero. The Bruce Power Retooling and Economic Recovery Council will launch a Panel Review to determine opportunities for enhancing global health through medical isotopes, leveraging the nuclear supply chain to be self-sufficient with PPE and further opportunities to expand sterilization using Cobalt-60.

“I’m proud Huron-Bruce is home to the world’s largest nuclear facility and Canada’s largest private-sector infrastructure project,” said Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson, also the Minister of Government and Consumer Services. “We have the opportunity to build on the infrastructure and expertise at the Bruce Power site to become home to these new technologies, and will truly be Canada’s Clean Energy Frontier for decades to come.” 

The Grey, Bruce, Huron region is well-positioned to advance these initiatives and has developed a program called the Clean Energy Frontier program which was launched recently by the Nuclear Innovation Institute with funding from Bruce Power and Bruce County.

“Today’s announcement from Bruce Power is yet another example of the positive role our region continues to play in developing new and innovative clean energy technologies,” said Bruce County Warden Mitch Twolan. “Bruce County welcomes this announcement and we look forward to advancing SMR technologies right here in Ontario’s Clean Energy Frontier.” 

“The innovative work taking place at Bruce Power is having a positive impact on communities in Huron County,” said Jim Ginn, Warden of Huron County. “We commend Bruce Power, the Nuclear Innovation Institute and Terrestrial Energy for collaborating on this important project and look forward to its future success.”

“Grey County is pleased to see Bruce Power’s continued to commitment to advancing cutting-edge, innovative, and made-in-Ontario clean energy technology. This project, yet again, showcases the ingenuity and innovative spirit that exists right here in our region,” said Paul McQueen, Warden of Grey County.

Background

What is an SMR?

SMRs are nuclear reactors that will produce 300 megawatts (MW) of electricity or less. Much smaller than traditional nuclear power plants, their modular design allows for deployment in small grids, remote off-grid communities, and as an energy source for resource projects. In addition to an agreement that was reached to explore applications micro reactors within Canada, Terrestrial Energy has announced they have joined the Centre for Next Generation Nuclear to support grid scale application of their SMR technology.

What is Canada’s Clean Energy Frontier Program?

The Clean Energy Frontier Program (CEFP) demonstrates the critical role of the tri-county region of Bruce, Grey and Huron in achieving a net-zero economy and clean energy future for Ontario and across Canada. The region has what the rest of Ontario needs: clean energy technologies – starting with nuclear power – and the skills and expertise around new energy sources that can lead the transition to a robust, net-zero economy.

What is the Bruce Power Centre for Next Generation Nuclear Technology?

Bruce Power Centre for Next Generation Nuclear forges a deeper understanding of the role of nuclear power in developing new energy technologies that can help carve Canada’s path to a net-zero economy. The Centre examines the market and technology challenges facing energy sources such as hydrogen and new nuclear technologies such as small modular reactors and fusion energy. The Centre will also explore opportunities for Bruce Power assets to be optimized and leveraged to maximize the impact they’ll have on Canada’s clean energy future.

Tropicana Board awarded a $3000 bonus to a manager, even while continuing to rebuff workers’ ask for a modest wage increase. Workers unionized with SEIU Local 2 over a year ago in response to years of wage freezes and other unfair treatment by management.

TORONTO, Nov. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tropicana workers have learned that the Tropicana board voted to grant a $3000 to a manager in 2019, around the time the frontline workers unionized and started asking for an end to years of wage freezes. 

Several workers were told either directly or overheard that board President Carol Comissiong authorized a $3000 bonus for the daycare supervisor. Now that workers are striking together, this information is being brought to light with the broader group. 

Maxine Edwards is a Job Developer with Tropicana and was unaware of the manager bonus until the strike started. She says: “I hadn’t heard about the manager bonus until we all went on strike and this information came out. But this is really disappointing to hear. I was working with no wage increase for four years. I was always told there was no money for wage increases for staff.”

Management has continued to insist on three more years of wage freezes, which has pushed the workers to go on strike. Workers have been picketing Tropicana premises since November 9th.

Tropicana is a publicly-funded organization financed by all three levels of government. Workers unionized and are now on strike after many had been forced to accept up to a decade of wage freezes. They are seeking a cost-of-living wage increase and transparent management practices as a part of their first collective agreement. Workers have set up TropicanaStrikes.ca to keep the public informed on developments. 

SEIU Local 2 represents workers in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick and British Columbia.
