The Gazette Company celebrated its designation as a Blue Zones Worksite with a ribbon-cutting ceremony July 16. The Blue Zones Project is described as a community well-being improvement initiative to make healthy choices easier through lasting changes to environment, policy, and social networks. About 90 people joined the ceremony, including the company’s Color Web Printers employees, members of the wellness committee and representatives of the Blue Zones Project and Mercy Care Business Health Solutions, who also work with the company to foster employee health and well-being.

Aug. 7 live conversation to be held via Google Hangouts on Air
Axiom News has partnered with Enterprising Non-profits Canada to host an online conversation about scaling social enterprise on August 7 at 12:30 p.m. EST. As the social enterprise movement grows, questions around the conventional Holy Grail of business are surfacing. How does the concept of scaling up translate in the world of social enterprise? And what kind of impact does the scale of a social enterprise have on societal resiliency?

The breakdown of relationship between change makers and the mainstream needs to be bridged. I thought I could, in the words of Buckminster Fuller, “build the new and make the old obsolete.” I no longer think it is that simple. I am more into this quotation from T.S. Eliot: "Hell is where nothing connects." Or this one from G.K. Chesterton: “In the breaking of bridges is the end of the world.”
