2023 Canada Games Welcomes New Sponsors
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island — The 2023 Canada Winter Games Host Society is excited to welcome four new organizations to its growing roster of sponsors: Amalgamated Dairies Limited (ADL), PEI Mutual Insurance Company, Office Interiors, and DALMAC. All four organizations were welcomed to the Canada Games family at a reception held today at The Rodd Charlottetown.
With a little over 14 months to go until the Canada Winter Games, momentum continues to build as companies from across Atlantic Canada are stepping up to show their support for the 2023 Games. Today’s announcement brings the 2023 Games’ total of confirmed sponsorship to 60 percent of the overall fundraising goal of $8 million.
In addition to receiving significant brand visibility throughout Games-time, each organization plans to leave a lasting impression with communities across PEI leading up to the 2023 Canada Games through strategic fan activations.
ADL – National VIP Contest & Proud Partner of the Athletes Lounge
ADL is giving Canadians a chance to win a VIP trip for two to the 2023 Canada Games in PEI. Launching in early 2022, the national contest will be cross-promoted on select Dairy Isle branded products available at Walmart locations across the country. Canadians will have the opportunity to scan a QR code for a chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip to PEI which includes VIP accreditations, tickets to the Opening Ceremony, car service and hotel accommodations.
In addition to the national contest, ADL will become the title partner of the Athletes Lounge during Games-time. Aptly named the “ADL Athletes Lounge,” athletes from across the country will be able to relax and recover between competitions while enjoying high-quality cheese and dairy products from ADL.
Hitting the Road with PEI Mutual
PEI Mutual and the 2023 Canada Games have teamed up with the Festival of Small Halls to create a new music and arts festival in the lead-up to the Games.
The concert series, presented by PEI Mutual, will consist of a series of 12 shows in rural communities and small venues across the province. Each show will celebrate PEI’s vibrant arts and culture scene and will feature a local musical performer, in addition to artists from across the country. The concert series is slated to kick off in November 2022.
