For the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation, Molson Canadian put out a call for people to share real life stories of Canadians acting with connection, class, celebration, commitment and contribution. Nominations were made by people in communities from across Canada.
In New Glasgow, Molson Canadian is celebrating Brian Bowden, Lisa MacDonald and Courtney Malcolm – individuals who exhibit great Canadian character through their passion and commitment to their community.
Bowden is a well-known singer, MacDonald is CAO of the town of New Glasgow, and
Malcolm is a member of both the Pictou County and Nova Scotia sports halls of fame, recognized for his contributions as a coach, official and administrator in hockey, track and field, and baseball.
“Canadians represent diversity and pluralism that is now being recognized globally like never before. It’s our strength of character that has redefined what we represent today and makes Canadians stand apart. As a brand strongly rooted in the country’s history, we are proud to say we are Canadian,” explained Molson Canadian brand manager Katrina Lat in a press release.
A total of 1,500 Canadians are being celebrated for their great Canadian character with a specially designed Molson Canadian wooden crate.
The presentation will be made in New Glasgow on July 17 at 3 p.m. at Glasgow Square. He will be joined by Mayor Nancy Dicks for this moment of recognition.
In addition to the commemorative “crates,” MacDonald is also being awarded one of the iconic Molson Canadian red fridges for her leadership in the community. MacDonald is one of 150 Canadians who will receive this special honour during Canada’s 150th year.
