Kindness and celebrates some special Canadians who go out of their way to make others happy
TORONTO, July 24, 2013 /CNW/ - Canadians have earned their reputation for being polite, but how do they rate in their Kindness towards others ?
According to a national survey conducted by Environics Research for Coca-Cola Canada, Canadians have shown Kindness to others through random actions an average of four times in the last four weeks
.* This includes such things as opening a door, offering to carry heavy items or giving up a seat on public transit.
Yet, 70 per cent of us feel many of these acts don't receive the recognition they deserve.
That's why Coca-Cola Canada is celebrating some very special individuals who make others happy with remarkable acts in their own communities across the country.
The goal ?
Share their stories to help inspire others to give a little kindness too.
" When it comes to Kindness, seeing really is believing," says Carolyn Harty, Senior Brand Manager, Coca-Cola.
" More than half of Canadians are motivated to pay-it-forward themselves when they see others making a Kind gesture.
It is these small acts of Kindness that make a larger difference and inspire and create happiness."
Where the Stories Begin…
Coca-Cola Canada completed a cross-country search to find stories about Canadians who are on a personal mission to create more happiness in the world.
Here are just a few of the special stories identified:
•Make a Wish…Sixteen year old Sheliza Kassam, a native of Calgary, decided on her thirteenth birthday that instead of gifts, she and her family would help feed families in need.
Her one small gesture ballooned into a non-profit organization that Sheliza now runs to throw birthday parties for children living in shelters who otherwise would not be able to celebrate their special day.
•Brown Baggin' It. Winnipeg teen Nathan Unrau, with the support of his parents Rohan and Elsie Unrau, launched Lunches with Love - a non-profit organization that makes and donates 450 paper bag lunches to Winnipeg's homeless shelters every other Saturday.
•Dancing is in his Roots. Twenty-two year old Luke Watters from Halifax knows just how much dance fuels a positive lifestyle.
He now heads up a special organization called Concrete Roots to help teens get off the streets and find their outlet in dance, giving them the confidence to excel in something they love...

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
