Cheers to 100 Years, P&G Canada!

Saturday, June 20, 2015


P&G Headquarters - Cascade Blogger Day #CascadeShiningReviews #PGmom

When I was invited to attend Cascade Blogger Day in Cincinnati last summer, I had a chance to visit the P&G Heritage Archives. It was there that I first learned about how P&G came to be, with a formal partnership agreement between William Proctor and James Gamble in 1837 and a product still known today as Ivory Soap. What I didn't know was that P&G first incorporated in Canada nearly 80 years later in 1915. Total number of employees - 75. 

Ivory Soap - Cascade Blogger Day #CascadeShiningReviews #PGmom

Since this month marks P&G’s 100th anniversary in Canada, we are looking back on some of the major milestones and iconic products that Canadians have come to know over the past century:
