Dove Launches #UnseenBeauty Social Campaign, Empowering Millennial Women to Reclaim the Narrative Around Unrealistic Y2K Beauty Standards, With Professional Hockey Player Sarah Nurse Leading the Conversation
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To mark the 25th anniversary of Y2K, Dove is launching its #UnseenBeauty social campaign, inviting Millennial women to unlearn the toxic beauty standards perpetuated by the culture of the early 2000s. The campaign encourages women to share a photo from girlhood—one that, in many cases, has never been seen before. These images are sometimes hard to look at, and even harder to share due to the lasting impact of harmful language and impossible beauty standards that shaped this generation's self-esteem. By empowering women to embrace and share their #UnseenBeauty moments, Dove strives to help women see their real beauty. A new study from Dove, The Weight of Words, reveals that 3 in 4 Millennial women in Canada say harmful beauty messages from the early 2000s still shape how they feel about their bodies today. Among the most recalled terms by Canadian women are "bikini body" (71%), "love handles" (66%), "muffin top" (62%), "size zero" (58%) and "thunder thighs" (56%). Three in four Canadian women (74%) say the media from that time continues to shape how they feel about themselves today, and one in two believe this influence will always be a part of how they feel about their bodies. "As the generation with the lowest self-esteem, it's clear Millennial women are still recovering from decades of unrealistic beauty expectations around how their bodies should look,' said Divya Singh, Head of Unilever Personal Care, Canada. 'At Dove, we believe that there is no one version of beauty. #UnseenBeauty invites women to be seen and celebrate their beauty, and is part of our overall mission to make a positive relationship with beauty accessible to all.' To help change the narrative, Dove is collaborating with Olympic gold medalist, World Champion and professional hockey player Sarah Nurse, who is among the first to share her own #UnseenBeauty photo and story. Growing up, Nurse felt self-conscious of her athletic, muscular legs—or what she saw as 'Thunder Thighs'—simply because her body didn't look like the girls in magazines or on TV. She will be joined by a collective of Millennial creators from across Canada, each offering their own personal reflections and images shaped by the media pressures of Y2K. 'I partnered with Dove to help challenge Y2K standards of beauty so we can start seeing ourselves differently,' said Sarah Nurse. 'There are so many parts of us we used to hide that we deserve to celebrate! I hope Canadians join me in sharing their #UnseenBeauty photos, so we can write a more body positive future for the next generation.' As part of Dove's ongoing mission to support women's self-esteem, the brand recently introduced its first-ever body confidence tools for women through the Dove Self-Esteem Project. Resources include a Confidence Journal; The Real Beauty Talks video series and workbook; and Why2k? Podcast episodes and journals, designed to help women unlearn harmful messages and build self-worth. To learn more and access these tools, visit: Join Dove in changing the conversation around the unrealistic beauty standards and harmful language that shaped a generation. Share your #UnseenBeauty photo and Y2K beauty story to reclaim the narrative, because words from the past shouldn't define who we are today.

West Vancouver family cycling Cypress to raise funds for cancer research
A West Vancouver family will soon bike up a local mountain for pancreatic cancer research. Anthony Thomas, his wife Carolyn Bliss and their daughter Emily Thomas will be pedalling 12 kilometres up Cypress Bowl Road as part of the annual Capilano Volkswagen Cypress Challenge, raising funds for pancreatic cancer research at BC Cancer. 'I felt like it was a good idea that we do this,' Thomas said, after hearing about the challenge through Maddi, his eldest daughter who will be cheering them on the sidelines. 'Everybody in the family was all for it, so we decided to join on.' The challenge is a personal one for the family. When Anthony and Carolyn were driving back from the B.C. Interior over the Labour Day weekend, he started to feel intense pain in his lower back. Carolyn urged him to get it checked out. They stopped at a hospital in Whistler, where doctors took a CT scan and found a kidney stone, but also two masses on Anthony's pancreas and liver. After an MRI scan, doctors discovered Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. 'Things looked really, really bad,' Anthony said. Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers due to few symptoms appearing in the first stages , making it more challenging to diagnose early. The Canadian Cancer Society estimated in 2024 that 7,100 Canadians would be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and 6,100 will die from the disease. For pancreatic cancer, the five-year survival rate is 10 per cent . However, hope turned around for Anthony after a biopsy. Doctors found a neuroendocrine cell, which has a better prognosis. 'It was a big lift for me,' he said. 'I really started focusing on trying to get better because up until then, it just seemed like a doomsday scenario.' Anthony then had surgery in November, removing most of the cancer. The family feels thankful for the positive trajectory, but also the amount of support they've received from the community. 'It was great to have friends and community and good doctors around to support us,' Carolyn said. 'Especially in that first month when we thought it was terminal, it was quite overwhelming.' Maddi and Emily echoed their mom's thoughts, saying they admire their dad's resilience. 'It's really brought us all much closer together in a way,' Maddi said. 'I think it makes you just feel much more grateful for life, and the ability to spend time together.' As the days count down for the challenge, the family is practicing biking up and down the route, so they'll be ready to go on July 27. Since the challenge launched in 2008, cyclists have raised more than $5.2 million to support more pancreatic cancer research through the BC Cancer Foundation. The Thomas family has raised more than $44,000 to go towards pancreatic cancer research. People interested in donating to the family can do so on the Cypress Challenge website .

Canada salmonella outbreak linked to deli meats grows: 84 confirmed illnesses and 9 hospitalizations
A salmonella outbreak in Canada connected to recalled salami has made more people sick. As of July 11, there have been 84 confirmed cases of salmonella reported: 67 in Alberta, one in Manitoba, one in British Columbia and 15 in Ontario, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada. The illness reported in British Columbia is related to travel to Alberta. At first, the public health agency reported the outbreak had sickened less than 60 people in Ontario and Alberta — and sent seven to hospital. But two updates have shown growing numbers of people getting ill in more provinces . Now, public health is reporting nine people have been hospitalized. The outbreak investigation is ongoing. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a food recall warning for certain Rea-brand Genoa salami and Bona-brand Genova salami. Both are recalled due to salmonella following an investigation into food-borne illnesses. Recalled meat was distributed in Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario. 'These products may have been used in prepared products like sandwiches or sold at deli counters,' the public health agency warned in its first outbreak notice , published June 11. The inspection agency's recall notice said the recalled deli meats were distributed in Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba. Public health said the products were distributed to grocery stores, specialty markets, restaurants and cafés, delis and butcher shops. Check your fridge: Certain Rea-brand Genoa salami and Bona-brand Genova salami are recalled due to possible salmonella contamination. Of those who became ill, 67 per cent are men. Canadians who have become ill range in age from one to more than 100. No deaths have been reported in connection to this outbreak. Public health reports people have become sick between mid-April and mid-June. 'Many people who became sick reported eating salami in prepared sandwiches or purchased from deli counters where the recalled product was served,' it said. Most people who become ill from a salmonella infection will recover fully after a few days without treatment, but it can also cause severe illness and hospitalization. Those at higher risk for serious illness include older adults, young children, those who are pregnant and people with weakened immune systems. Salmonellosis has a wide range of symptoms. Some people don't get sick at all. Though, if you do get sick, symptoms usually start within six to 72 hours after exposure. Most symptoms end within four to seven days. Symptoms include: While most people recover completely on their own, some people may have a more serious illness that requires hospital care or may lead to long-lasting health effects. You can report a food concern or complaint to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency online. Consumers can report any health or safety incidents related to the use of products by filling out a consumer product incident report form .
