TROIS-RIVIERES – Cogeco officially opened its new operations centre in Trois-Rivieres on Monday.
The multi-functional $18 million facility consolidates Cogeco Cable's Quebec telecommunications nerve centre in the Mauricie region. In addition to bringing together some 500 employees under one roof and creating nearly 100 direct and indirect jobs, the new 79,000 square foot building houses a modern work environment and cutting-edge hi-tech equipment.
"Inaugurating this new centre demonstrates Cogeco's commitment to the region and our recognition for the people who live here, who have supported us for over 50 years”, said president and CEO Louis Audet at the ceremony (seen below, second from left, along with Julie Boulet, Ministre de l'Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale; Yves Lévesque, Mayor of Trois-Rivières; and Louise St-Pierre, SVP of residential services). “We are proud of our roots, and we know that this site is a perfect fit with our projects for the future."
