On Sunday, Sept. 29, the Georgetown Hospital Foundation held its annual Walk or Run for Georgetown Hospital. The Georgetown Hospital Foundation has consistently excelled in fundraising, with this year's walk goal set at $90,000. Ongoing fundraising and support are crucial to providing top-notch equipment and care, as the hospital services numerous communities.

It was a wonderful day for a walk and Superior Glove was delighted to join the community in supporting this initiative for Georgetown Hospital, which is our Acton headquarter's medical facility. Thank you for having us!

Introducing another of our January 2024 Children’s English Camp volunteers traveling to Honduras: Mildred Rowsell, from our Point Leamington plant.

Mildred is passionate about helping and inspiring others, actively volunteering in several organizations across her community. She has extensive experience with Newfoundland youth groups while helping with Superior Glove events.

"Children are the future," Mildred emphasized in her application. "Every child needs and should be provided with the best education, and what they know in knowledge and language, they will share with others." 

We couldn't agree more!

We are excited to announce our #GirlClub Protégés: Taylor Shirreffs, Cindy Smith, and Jamie Tostik! Our team members' personal and professional development is incredibly important to us as a growing company, and we are thrilled to provide this opportunity. 

For those who haven't heard of #GirlsClub, it is an incredible certificate program committed to changing the face of sales by empowering more women to earn leadership roles, reversing the zero-growth trend of women leaders in sales. They address this by providing a cross-company community and a six-month, exclusive training program that builds skills for tactical sales management, confidence building, and empowers risk-taking. 

Congratulations to Taylor, Cindy, and Jamie! We look forward to sharing their experiences with this program.

We love helping our local community when we can!

A local Halton Hills resident has been teaching in the Northwest Territories, giving away her winter gear to children who often show up without any of their own. She sparked other teachers to do the same as they noticed it positively correlated with attendance. 

That’s why Jill, our Sales Training & Onboarding Facilitator, joined with Angela from Trendz, a local Georgetown Hair Salon, to donate warm gloves to help teachers & families in the Northwest Territories who don’t always have the means to provide winter necessities for their children.

Together, we make a difference.

Did you know? We have officially opened The Canadian Glove Museum, conveniently located in Point Leamington, Newfoundland.

Please support our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084244904079 and be our guest the next time you're in the area! We would love to have you for a free tour. 

Superior Glove Works has been a well-known Canadian company in the beautiful Point Leamington community since 1988.  Our core values here at Superior Glove focus on Family, Innovation and Safety – and we would love to share these values with our community through this newest venture. 

 The only museum in Canada dedicated to gloves featuring displays of glove history that we've been a major part of for over 100 years. Learn about the glove industry from the 20th century, gloves crafted by different cultures, the gloves that made an impact in the lives of famous individuals like Elvis Presley & Dr. David Suzuki, and enjoy a tour of our factory to watch how gloves are made!

For several years, we’ve been involved in a community initiative helping some of Acton’s youth discover and hone their strengths as they explore being entrepreneurs.

ABC (Acton Business Company) is a program that brings business individuals into Acton High School to teach the grade 10 business class how to run a business and then have a “Dragons Den” competition where the student applicants can win funding. The students who win the competition have the opportunity to operate their businesses over the summer (and onwards) with the ongoing support of local community business mentors. 

This past week, Superior Glove team members Brianna, Cindy & Taylor presented to this year’s grade 10 class how to build a sales pitch, best practices regarding what makes a business successful & how it can be applied in many avenues of life. 

We look forward to seeing what comes from this year’s students! If your company wants to get involved in also sponsoring this initiative, reach out to the Acton BIA.
Superior Glove is proud to sponsor Tour of the Hills, taking place on September 25. This is a cycling event to raise much needed funds for Cancer Assistance Services of Halton Hills (CAShh). This one day event takes participants through the picturesque countryside of Halton Hills and is designed to get the community involved in a way that’s enjoyable, challenging, safe and beneficial to everyone involved.
