OTTAWA – Ottawa Senators (@Senators) president Cyril Leeder announced today a contribution of $500,000 in support of Ottawa 2017, our city’s celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary. The $500,000 will come through a wide variety of forms, including but not exclusive to, usage of Canadian Tire Centre, digital properties, advertising, National Hockey League in-game assets and cross-promotions.
“2017 is positioned to be a truly remarkable year for the Senators, the city and the entire country,” said Leeder. “When we presented this idea to Eugene, he was adamant that our support of Ottawa 2017 should reflect our own organization’s commitment and passion to the anniversary year.
