Teaming up with this organization has allowed us to work with Chris, a fantastic team member who not only brings a positive and humorous attitude to work every day but has proven to be an asset to our team and helps wherever he is needed.
Alongside Green Bay Community Employment, we are celebrating National AccessAbility Week. An opportunity to mark the important contributions of Canadians with disabilities and highlight how Canadians identify, remove, and prevent barriers to inclusion and accessibility.
To show Superior Glove`s continued support, our Springdale Newfoundland locations enthusiastically participated in Red Shirt Day, where they walked in solidarity with the local community to support accessibility and inclusion in the workplace.

Here at Superior Glove, we greatly support our local communities.
We especially enjoy helping our youth with their social, intellectual and leadership qualities through interactive and educational tours.
At our beautiful headquarters in Acton, Ontario, we love giving tours to students. We’ve hosted school tours for grades 1-4, welcomed Beaver Scouts, and, most recently, we had the pleasure of having the Cub Scouts in our facilities. The Scouts had fun helping assemble glove boxes; they visited our R&D lab, saw our glove dipping line, and learned about material handling equipment.
The motto for Cub Scouts is "Do your best & try new and exciting activities..." - so we thought it was only fitting that they were sent home with mini science kits through our sponsorship with @sci_in_school.
The Scouts loved it 😊
A special thanks to our team members who always create an excellent experience for our local community!
