Contest open to children of Maple Leaf Foods’ employees TORONTO, Ontario – The Maple Leaf |
|
David’s drawing depicts a small farming
community nestled against a background of prairie farmlands, mountains and
ocean water. A stylized Maple Leaf Foods’ logo sits on top of a large evergreen
tree dotted with mistletoe. “David has a keen sense of observation,” says his
mother Martine Bourgeois, who works at Maple Leaf Foods’ Shur-Gain office in
Brossard, Quebec. “We travelled to the prairies in Western Canada and to the
East Coast, where he saw the Atlantic Ocean. He captured these images in his
drawing.”
Contest runners-up were six-year-old Jessica
Clemens, whose mother Maria works at Maple Leaf Pork in Brandon, Manitoba and
ten-year-old Carly Richardson-Urban, whose father Jerry is employed at the
Rothsay plant in Dundas, Ontario. Each child received a letter of
congratulations and a prize.
