Welcome to Angela & Julie – Shad Valley Standouts

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

We’re pleased to announce Every Little Bit’s participation in the 2011 Shad Valley program.  Shad Valley’s mission is to provide a transformational experience that unleashes the entrepreneurial and innovative potential of exceptional youth.

The Shad Valley program is an intensive one month university-based development program for high potential secondary school students, followed by 4 to 6 week internships at employers across Canada.

Every Little Bit was fortunate enough to secure the talents of two exceptional students from the Lower Mainland.  Angela joins us from Sir Winston Churchill Secondary and has an impressive resume featuring social policy work for the City of Vancouver, volunteer work with Kid’s Help Phone, honor roll status, an executive role on student council, as well as being selected as MVP for hockey.  Julie is from Gleneagle Secondary, where she tutors students in math and computing, as well as volunteering at the Burquitlam Lions Care Center.  Julie excels in piano, digital media, math and computing.

We’re thrilled to have Angela & Julie on board as interns at Every Little Bit.  They’ll be working on social media, product research, and article writing campaigns.  Stay tuned for their upcoming blogs with the youth perspectives on issues like sustainability, going green and environmental awareness.

About Shad Valley
Hosted at top Canadian universities from coast to coast, with 10 host locations for 2011, Shad Valley has continually expanded and refined the program to ensure its relevance, significance and impact since its launch.  A registered charity, Shad Valley celebrates its 31st anniversary in 2011.

To qualify for admission to the program students must be very strong academically (most have averages over 90%).  They must also be well-rounded emerging leaders who demonstrate drive, initiative, creativity and an entrepreneurial flair.  They are leaders in their schools, volunteers in their communities, and many are gifted musicians, artists and athletes. Acceptance to Shad Valley is a highly competitive, application-based process.

One of Shad’s primary goals is to encourage brilliant young students to pursue fields of study that will increase innovation and economic capacity, and expose them to opportunities to use their abundant talents to move companies forward in a competitive global environment.  Annual post-program surveys indicate most, over 60% of alumni said that their participation in Shad Valley significantly influenced their choice of undergraduate program and their career path.

News Release – Every Little Bit introduces new one stop shop for eco-friendly products

For Immediate Release

Every Little Bit introduces new one-stop shop for eco-friendly products

Every Little Bit Eco-Shop announces launch of www.everylittlebitgreen.com, an online source for everyday products, conveniently green.

Port Moody, BC, Canada, November 30, 2008 –  Every Little Bit , a new online store featuring everyday-use, eco-friendly products, opened its e-doors this morning.  With a wide variety of eco-friendly products, ranging from personal care items to organic cotton clothing to household necessities and toys, Every Little Bit carries a blend of sustainably made, yet stylish products.   Founded by Alison Ferguson and Meaghan Relkie, the company offers customers a stress-free shopping environment, including detailed product descriptions and a specific product eco-rating for each product, to help consumers with their “green IQ”.   The company was formed to specifically help the more mainstream consumer start shopping “green” without experiencing a significant increase in price, or sacrificing style. 

 The website www.everylittlebitgreen.com went live this morning to positive customer reviews.  Clare Adams of Port Coquitlam remarked “I’ve been trying more eco-friendly products over the last year, but I’ve got to admit, up to now, most of the sites I’ve been to have been a little too “granola” for me.  I like the variety of products at Every Little Bit, the ease of site navigation and the education available, from the general articles, to the wealth of product information and eco-ratings”.  Andrea Davy of Prince George agrees  “I like the notion of “every little bit”, that small choices can make a difference.  It doesn’t need to be all or nothing.”

Vice-President of Product Strategy for Every Little Bit, Meaghan Relkie commented “It was getting increasingly hard to find eco-friendly products without ordering from the US or from multiple sites,  or drive across town to find special products.”  Demand for eco-friendly products continues to rise, according to Mintel Research, with certain segments, like ethical personal care, experiencing astronomical growth (5.2B in 2007 in the US).   “People are interested in making healthy choices for their families, yet its got to be easy and convenient to make those choices.  There’s not a lot of general purpose stores out there offering eco-friendly products for a whole family’s needs, so that’s how Every Little Bit emerged” said Relkie. “We conducted numerous focus groups leading up to the launch, ensuring our product mix would meet our target market needs.  And judging by the traffic and sales so far, we’re on the right track.”
