TORONTO – Bell is helping approximately 2,000 of the country’s best athletes to stay connected to the people they care about the most.
The company pledged to expand its Bell Athletes Connect program to high-performing athletes with a new Samsung mobile device and a service package that includes “significant” airtime, a data plan, and North American roaming and long distance.
“Athletes from across Canada have shared with us how important mobile connectivity is to them, their coaches, and their families and friends," said president and CEO George Cope, speaking at the Canadian Olympic Committee Congress in Toronto on Friday. "Bell is proud to provide Canada’s premier athletes with new mobile devices, voice and data services that will ensure they stay closely connected with all those most important to them."
Since 1997, the Bell Athletes Connect program has partnered with AthletesCAN to provide mobile connectivity services to Canada’s senior national team athletes competing at the Olympic, Paralympic and senior World Championship levels.
