Nestlé Waters is proud to accept the Workplace Safety Award presented by the BC Food Processors Association. The award was accepted by Shane Veenstra, Safety, Health, and Environment Manager at Nestlé Waters in Hope.
“If we communicate and over-communicate safety, it becomes stuck in the forefront of people’s minds so that when they approach their jobs every day, they think safety first,” says Shane. “We’ve taken the focus away from minimum requirement and looked at what we can do in excess of regulations.”

The Nestlé Waters Canada retail team
Nestlé Waters is proud to once again support the great initiative Project Water by Engage and Change.
Project Water was founded in 1999 by Jody Steinhauer after learning that in Canada, more homeless people die from dehydration in the summer than from exposure in the winter.
This year, volunteers were able to pack and distribute 300,000 bottles of water and 3,000 summer survival kits to over 170 Toronto and GTA non-profit agencies, homeless shelters, outreach programs and drop-ins. These kits will be given to people living on the street who need them to survive the extreme heat in the summer.
Nestlé Waters Canada is a proud supporter of Project Water and looks forward to our continued partnership.
Learn more about Project Water and how you can get involved here.

If you are interested in learning about how we test for microplastics in bottled water, the below video takes you through the process at our head laboratory in Vittel, France.
We have been testing our products for the presence of micro-plastics since 2015. In 2018, we started using a sophisticated, state-of-the art testing methodology.This method combines electronic microscope and micro Raman spectroscopy analysis for ensuring identification of very small particles and their reliable characterization. We used this methodology in particular to test comparable batches of our products as those analyzed in the recent research led by Orb Media.

A history of Nestlé Waters Canada and the Middlebrook Bottling Company property in Elora
The former Middlebrook Water Bottling Co. was a permitted water bottling facility that had been on the market for approximately 10 years. In 2015, Nestlé Waters Canada began evaluating the Middlebrook spring water source for potential acquisition, subject to confirmation that the groundwater onsite meets its quality and quantity requirements. The Middlebrook site is intended to serve as a supplementary well to our Aberfoyle site, as we currently we do not have a back up in place.

While we live and work in Puslinch and Elora, we want to make sure we’re creating opportunities for us to connect with one another. We believe it’s important to work together with the communities in which we operate to share information and make the right decisions that involve our collective water future.
Our Natural Resource Manager, Andreanne Simard, invites you to attend the Wellington County community office hours to discuss any questions or comments you may have for us about our operations or our commitment to your community.

One of the topics our Natural Resource Manager is asked about the most at Community Office Hours is about well maintenance. In the communities where we operate in Ontario, residents are dependent on groundwater wells.
At Nestlé Waters Canada, we have a 17 year data set of our 130+ monitoring points in Aberfoyle and Erin, and all of this data is shared with the community. We are able to identify risks and long term trends, and have the people and resources to help local residents should they have any questions on their well.
Have any questions about your well, or about Nestlé Waters Canada in general? Come visit our team in February.
