has chosen to invest in the Western
Canada region. The new Warehouse &
Distribution Centre will greatly improve
the service we are able to offer our cus-
tomer network, allowing us to ship
product quickly and efficiently.”

PPG Completes COLORFUL
COMMUNITIES Project at
Flying Horse Farms
As part of its global community en-
gagement efforts, PPG has announced
the completion of a COLORFUL
COMMUNITIES project at Flying
Horse Farms camp in Mount Gilead,
Ohio. More than 40 PPG employee
volunteers used more than 170 gallons
of PPG PAINTS products to beautify
several buildings on the grounds and
help lift the spirits of hundreds of chil-
dren with serious illnesses who visit
the camp annually.
Volunteers from PPG facilities in
Strongsville and Delaware, Ohio, refreshed buildings on the camp’s property with PPG Paints brand TIMELESS
exterior paint in vibrant colors to
match the existing colors of the facilities. The paint, which will refresh the
camp’s big red barn, program building,
dining hall and medical facility, the
“Wellnest,” provides one-coat coverage, a durable finish and outstanding
dirt-resistance, in addition to excellent
vibrancy, color retention and ultraviolet (UV) resistance. The camp-ish
colors being include PPG Paints colors Delicate White (PPG1001-1),
Brown Basket (PPG 16-15), Moss Ring
(PPG1130-6), Ginger Jar (226-6) and
Baked Bean (PPG1066-7).
“We are incredibly grateful for
PPG’s support and enthusiasm during
this project,” said Mimi Dane, chief
executive officer, Flying Horse Farms.
“The fresh coat of paint on our vari-
ous facilities makes such a difference
in the vibrancy and overall look of this
special place.”
Flying Horse Farms provides magi-
cal, transformative camp experiences
for children with serious illnesses and
their families – free of charge. Located
on 200 acres in Mount Gilead, the camp
first opened its gates in 2010 and hosts
about 900 children and their families
each year. Swimming, boating, fishing,
canine therapy, high ropes, archery, and
arts and crafts are just the beginning of
the adventure at Flying Horse Farms.
Each activity is designed to ensure every
camper can participate and feel a sense
of pride, accomplishment and freedom
from medical concerns.
“Flying Horse Farms is truly a magical place for campers and their families,
and I’m excited that my PPG colleagues
and I could help protect and beautify it
with PPG Paints products,” said John
Lewis, PPG marketing manager, automotive refinish, and past chair of the
Flying Horse Farms board. “Through
the Colorful Communities program,
PPG made it possible for us to brighten
this amazing place with colors as bold as
the courageous campers.”CW
