All-Star for a Day.com is
an initiative launched in partnership with the major
North American professional sports leagues and a
dozen corporate sponsors to reward young people for
a significant contribution to their community or
important personal achievement. In the example of the NHL, each team will select a
young person from their community who deserves
recognition. The recipient will attend the annual
All-Star game, along with a family member, take part
in various activities, both with the NHL players and
the young people chosen from the other teams. Loblaws will be the official food supplier for the
event and volunteer colleagues will offer their
services in providing meals to the all-star winners.

Each year an employee of the
company will be chosen as "colleague of the year".
The person chose will have made a significant and
important contribution to the company or the
community. The recipient of this prestigious award will be
given the opportunity to spend a day with a
high-level executive, perhaps even Mr. Weston
himself. The colleague will accompany the executive
during a typical day of operations. He will gain
insight into the company, acquire valuable
experience, and learn what it takes to attain a
prominent role in the country's largest company.

With two hundred thousand
colleagues, the company has the potential to use its
massive buying power to obtain substantial discounts
for its people.
The company also has the opportunity
to educate and inform its people about
financial responsibility, investments, and other
savings instruments. It could set up a program to
teach interested colleagues about the many
investment opportunities available to them - RRSPs,
stock purchase plans, TFSAs. The colleagues could
receive financial literature, attend seminars with
experts, and view online courses.
This would help in employee retention, give people
financial independence, and teach them about
investment principles and savings programs.
