Dear Members:
Consideration of the APGO brand has been something that has been coming up in Council Executive Committee discussions for several years. Like an onion, a brand has a lot of layers that need to be assessed, dependent on the need. Creating a consistent template for documents and a clear visual identity that reflects our role as a regulator that works in the public interest is just one layer considered.
Over the past year, Council members have been carrying out a broad rebranding exercise in collaboration with APGO Staff. This has included a review toward refreshing the visual rendering of our website and redesigning it for cell-phone applications, as well as developing a template for APGO documents and releases. A comprehensive review of website content, and social media policies are planned for the coming year. This exercise has been one part of fulfilling the promise I made to the Membership last June to focus on consolidating and strengthening the internal workings of the APGO.

The diamond on your finger is most likely made of recycled seabed cooked deep in the Earth.
Traces of salt trapped in many diamonds show the stones are formed from ancient seabeds that became buried deep beneath the Earth's crust, according to new research led by Macquarie University geoscientists.
Most diamonds found at the Earth's surface are formed this way; others are created by crystallization of melts deep in the mantle.

Ten years and 10 months after the official opening in July 2008, production at De Beers Group Victor Mine in Northern Ontario has come to an end.
On May 26, the last of the economic ore was processed through the plant, followed by several days of low-grade ore and limestone to help purge the plant of any remaining diamonds. Mining activities in the pit ended on March 5, when the mine switched to processing the remaining surface stockpiles of ore. The plant will now undergo a comprehensive shutdown process through the end of June.
