WINNIPEG – Rogers Communications today announced new wireless service in Sage Creek, one of Winnipeg’s fastest growing areas.

The company worked with the Sage Creek Residents’ Association and local political leaders to build the new cellular tower. “We were pleased to work with the residents and businesses of Sage Creek, with the support of the municipality, to provide new and improved wireless service so that our Sage Creek customers can make and share more memorable moments with an improved network experience,” said Colin Bartlett, Rogers’ director, prairies region, in a release.

“It’s a great feeling and excellent news for the residents of Sage Creek, to now have cellular service in our community,” said Frank Capasso, president of the Sage Creek Residents’ Association. “Many residents don’t have landlines and depend on wireless coverage. Rogers has made our dream a reality, allowing us to make calls, including to emergency services if necessary.”

This investment is one of several new Rogers wireless improvements which include updates in downtown Winnipeg as well as making LTE-Advance available across Manitoba.
