PEIADA Driving the Games
The PEIADA will play a vital role during the PEI 2023 Canada Winter Games, providing over 70 vehicles for the Games’ motorpool fleet which will transport VIPs, Media, Mission Staff and Major Technical Officials during the two weeks of competition.
"We are so happy to be able to lend our support to the Games, the community and, perhaps most importantly, the athletes, our future leaders,” said Lisa Doyle-MacBain, Executive Director of the PEI Auto Dealers Association. “Despite on-going supply challenges faced by the automotive industry, the dealerships are really pleased to be able to provide vehicles for the 2023 Canada Games as a Champion corporate sponsor."
Robin’s Donuts
Robin’s Donuts will keep it fast, fresh and friendly as the official coffee partner for the 2023 Canada Games. Thanks to Robin’s, Volunteers and Major Technical Officials will be able to stay on top of their game with access to Robin’s coffee, tea and hot chocolate in lounges at each competition venue.
“Robins is thrilled to be part of the 2023 Canada Games and we welcome the opportunity to help showcase all that PEI has to offer,” stated Terry Smith, President of Robin’s Donuts.
Fitzgerald and Snow
Sponsors like Fitzgerald and Snow are helping with the final push to make the 2023 Canada Games a life-changing experience for all Games participants.
“Given the economic impact the Canada Games will have in the province and the capital improvements made as a result we feel it important that FitzGerald and Snow support the Games,” stated Vernon McQuillan, President of Fitzgerald and Snow. “We are also thrilled to be supporting our next generation of leaders and to help in leaving a legacy in our province.”
