CCTFA appears before Industry and Environment Parliamentary Standing Committees
|
CCTFA was recently invited to present to two separate Parliamentary Standing Committees in Ottawa - the Industry, Science & Technology Standing Committee and the Environment & Sustainable Development Standing Committee.
CCTFA provided perspective to the government's Industry Committee on ways of growing manufacturing in Canada particularly as it relates to the cosmetic and personal care industry. We expressed the need for Canadian manufacturers to be able to readily access international markets and how unintended and unnecessary regulatory barriers to accessing those markets impede the growth of manufacturing. With respect to the Environment Committee, CCTFA provided evidence supporting the need to maintain science and risk-based principles and processes that are critical to the success of the Chemicals Management Plan.
CCTFA's presentations to both committees were very well received, and we will be providing additional follow-up information to both Committees

Last week the Federal Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development released a report entitled "Chemicals in Consumer Products and Cosmetics". The report essentially assesses the role of Health Canada's Consumer Product Safety Program in ensuring that risk management measures and regulatory controls are being respected and enforced in the Canadian marketplace.
The Report attracted much media attention and the CCTFA has since given a number of interviews including CTV National News. To view the CTV clip, please click here.

CCTFA attends Regulatory Cooperation Council Stakeholder meeting in Washington
|
Over 400 regulators and stakeholders from the United States and Canada participated in the U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council's (RCC) annual meetings held May 4-5, 2016 in Washington, D.C. Stakeholder participation was robust as many government agencies from both U.S. and Canada were in attendance. The thematic sessions explored regulations in over twenty sectors, including drugs and personal care products. The forward-looking RCC meetings helped to identify opportunities for regulatory harmonization to enable trade and speed to market for our sector.
While attending the RCC meeting, CCTFA President Darren Praznik and PCPC's Glenda Williams meet Canada's new Ambassador to the US, David McNaughton, at the Canadian Embassy in Washington.

Marketing

In the past year consumer engagement and the popularity of Instagram in beauty has exploded, say industry observers. The beauty category has the fastest-growing following, with engagement tripling year-over-year between the third quarter 2014 and the third quarter 2015, confirm research leads Giulia Prati and Jenny Shen at digital intelligence firm L2. "When we compared the absolute number of Facebook interactions (likes, comments, shares) versus Instagram likes and shares, Instagram interactions outnumbered Facebook 10 to one," says Shen. "Instagram is at the perfect intersection of mobile, visual and youth [in terms of audience]."

James Taylors' son John (far right) accepts Industry Patron award on behalf of his father from CCTFA Chair, Steve Blanchet and CCTFA's Michele Davis at the 2015 CCTFA Holiday luncheon
|
|
It is with regret that we announce the passing of James "Jim" Taylor on May 28, 2016. He was 92 years old. James
was the President & CEO of Taylor Soaps until 2000, joined the company in the late 1940's.
Taylor Soaps had been a member of CCTFA since the late 1940's. James' father Percy Taylor (d. 1957), had been a member of the association since the early 1930's when it was known as the Perfumers Guild. James also served on the CCTFA Board of Directors (1982-1984) and was an Industry Patron of the association.
Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time. A donation in James' memory to the Diabetes Association or to the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.

On Thursday, June 2 we welcomed supporters, sponsors and friends to the Beauty Gives Back Tribute Awards, our annual opportunity to say a special "thank you" to those who help ensure our programs remain available free of charge to women with cancer all across the country.
This year's event, held at Rosewater, was made extra special by a moving speech delivered by the 2016 Facing Cancer Together Co-Survivor of the Year,
Amanda Lawee. Nominated for the award by her mother, Rea, Amanda received her award from Estée Lauder General Manager, Philippe Warnery who was on hand to accept the Double Diamond Tribute Award on behalf of Estée Lauder Companies. In her speech, Amanda noted the impact of the Look Good Feel Better workshop on her mother, recalling "
the uncontrollable grin on her face as she walked out of the program with palpable confidence and radiance".
Thanks to all who attended and to all whose generosity makes it possible for us to help women like Rea and Amanda face cancer with confidence. Photos from the event will be posted soon on our flickr account.
