Thursday, April 28, 2016 – Broadview Networks is proud to announce its status as the event sponsor of Tennis and proud sponsor of the 2017 Canada Summer Games, the 50th anniversary of the event and a celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday. From July 28 to August 13, 2017, Winnipeg will host over 4000 athletes, competing in 16 sports. Broadview is glad to contribute to the Games’ funding goal of $6.5 million.
The Canada Games are this nation’s largest multi-sport event for young athletes, and Winnipeg is the largest city ever to host them. The Games have been earmarked by Heritage Canada as an official national celebration of the 50th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation.
“We’re very happy to support an event that will bring so much joy to our country, while bolstering our local economy,” said President and CEO Michael Orloff, “We’re proud to do our part in encouraging athletes from across Canada, celebrating our nation, and inviting over 20,000 visitors to our great city.”
Winnipeg is the second Manitoban city to host a summer edition of the event since it began in 1967. Amateur competitors flock from across the country to compete for the Canada Games Flag and Centennial Cup.
“First and foremost, we want to provide an amazing experience for our young, Canadian athletes,” said 2017 Canada Games President and CEO Jeff Hnatiuk, “We’re pleased the spotlight will shine on and showcase Winnipeg and Manitoba on a national scale during the 50th anniversary of the Canada Games as well as Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations.
