Swiffer and BGC Canada Join Forces to Address the Chore Gap in Canadian Homes
Swiffer partners with BGC Clubs across Canada as part of an initiative aimed at promoting awareness of the equitable division of household responsibilities Toronto, ON, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In an effort to make Canadian household chores more equitable, Swiffer, a P&G brand, has teamed up with BGC Canada, the country's largest child-and youth-serving organization, to inspire kids to 'close the chore gap' at home. As part of the new partnership, Swiffer will provide easy-to-use tools, like the Swiffer PowerMop, to help bring the 'Home Eq[uity]' curriculum to life in BGC Clubs across the country. Research indicates that in 65% of households, the burden of chores often rests on a single individual, most often women. This disparity in the distribution of household responsibilities is what has come to be known as the 'Chore Gap.' While the inequity may look different in every home, the new partnership underscores the importance of addressing the chore gap before it happens, encouraging youth to consider what equity looks like within their own Close the Chore Gap initiative, launched in Canada in 2023 in partnership with Fair Play —a gamified life-management system inspired by Eve Rodsky's book—aims to educate families on the fair division of household work. Through age-appropriate curriculums developed for educators and families alike, the program teaches children and families that everyone has a role to play in maintaining a shared home.'Swiffer believes that addressing the chore gap starts with fostering a culture of shared responsibilities within the home,' said Nancy Li, Brand Director, Swiffer. 'Involving children in household chores not only tackles the chore gap at its roots but also equips them with essential life skills that contribute to happier, healthier adults. Our initiative aims to raise awareness of chore equity and inspire families to collaborate, showcasing how Swiffer can support a more balanced approach to household responsibilities.'The Home Eq[uity] curriculums, which BGC Canada will promote in its internal newsletter to Clubs across the country, will be available in full on the BGC Canada member website, with resources tailored to audiences from primary school to post-secondary.'At BGC Canada, we empower young people with the skills they need to succeed in all aspects of life—including at home,' said Brooke Duval, Sr. Director, Partnerships & Philanthropy, BGC Canada. 'Through this partnership with Swiffer, we're helping kids and teens understand the importance of shared responsibility and teamwork in their own households. By closing the chore gap, we're fostering habits that promote fairness and equity—values that will benefit them for life.'

Cost of Canada's new US-made fighter jet fleet set to rise, watchdog says
OTTAWA (Reuters) -Canada's planned purchase of 88 Lockheed Martin F-35 fighters will cost at least 45% more than initially estimated and the project is also threatened by a pilot shortage, the country's top watchdog reported on Tuesday. Canada, seeking to replace its antiquated fleet of CF-18 jets, announced the C$19-billion ($13.89 billion) deal in January 2023. But Auditor General Karen Hogan said the final bill would be at least C$27.7 billion and could go as high as C$33.2 billion, citing factors such as foreign-exchange fluctuations and rising facilities costs. The report is another blow to a 15-year, trouble-plagued attempt by successive administrations to replace the CF-18 jets, some of which have been flying for more than 40 years. Hogan, who reports to parliament, said the Defence Ministry approach "had weaknesses, lack(ed) proactive measures to minimize the impact of potential threats, and the project did not have robust contingency plans." A shortage of pilots that the Auditor General's Office identified in 2018 is still a significant risk, she said. The construction of special facilities for the jets is three years behind schedule. Prime Minister Mark Carney ordered a review in March of the contract, in part because he said Canada relied too much on the United States for security. Delivery of the jets is scheduled to occur between 2026 and 2032. In response, Defence Minister David McGuinty said Ottawa had put in place a plan to identify all potential risks associated with the deal. "We will continue to work closely with our partners to actively manage costs throughout the duration of this project," he said in a statement. Canada announced plans to buy the U.S.-made F-35 in 2010 but a switch in governments, rule changes for aircraft procurement, as well as challenges from the pandemic triggered major delays.
