As approved by a vote of the brand membership on October 12, 2016, the CCTFA will be changing its name to COSMETICS ALLIANCE CANADA / L'ALLIANCE DE L'INDUSTRIE COSMÉTIQUE DU CANADA. The final logo as decided by the CCTFA Board of Directors at their November 18th meeting will be as follows:
Work is currently underway to develop a new website with improved functionality and updated content. The new name and website will launch in 2017. For further background and details about the re-branding initiative, please refer to the
member briefing previously issued to members.

The CCTFA has acquired from Rogers Media Cosmetics Magazine and its associated event-based properties - the Cosmetics Outstanding Service Awards (COSAs) and the Canadian Fragrance Awards. These industry assets provide CCTFA with an effective vehicle to reach beauty advisors, counter staff, and consumers. In particular, the digital magazine/website will be very useful in educating beauty specialists and consumers by providing important
information on ingredient/product safety, environmental issues, the Foundation, as well as other matters that are key to retaining and building consumer confidence. It will also ensure that our members can continue to take full advantage of Cosmetics Magazine and the awards events to help develop their business in Canada!

Last Call for Export Certificates

The CCTFA is thrilled to have acquired Cosmetics Magazine and its associated events-the Cosmetics Outstanding Service Awards (COSAs) and the Canadian Fragrance Awards. These three properties make important contributions to the Canadian beauty industry and the CCTFA looks forward to seeing them evolve and grow as we prepare for the year ahead. The acquisition of Cosmetics, and particularly the digital magazine/website, will give the CCTFA a vehicle for educating beauty specialists and consumers by providing important information on ingredient/product safety, environmental issues, charitable endeavours by the
CCTFA Foundation, and other matters.
The CCTFA will acquire control as of December 15, 2016, and will retain the services of Jim Hicks, former publisher of Cosmetics, to assist in the development of a business plan, including the continuation of the award events and operation of the digital magazine/website.

Canada's illustrious beauty and retail industries raised more than $1.1 million for women and teens facing cancer at the 25th anniversary of Mirror Ball on Nov. 19. More than 800 people attended the glamorous event at the Allstream Centre in support of Look Good Feel Better, Canada's only charity addressing the appearance-related effects of cancer and its treatment. The funds raised will support thousands of women as they go through LGFB workshops that help them feel like themselves again and ultimately face cancer with confidence. Look Good Feel Better is forever grateful to our Mirror Ball 2016 sponsors, donors, guests and volunteers for their outstanding compassion and generosity - we couldn't do it without you.
