OTTAWA and CALGARY – Shaw Communications finalized a ten-year agreement with the Ottawa Convention Centre that will see the downtown venue be named Shaw Centre, effective immediately.
The partnership will provide Shaw with the opportunity to showcase its media brands and products, as well as provide visitors with free access to its carrier-grade wifi network Shaw Go WiFi. The Shaw Centre will continue to use 'Canada's Meeting Place' as its descriptor, and will continue to partner closely with Ottawa Tourism in all domestic and international marketing efforts to ensure the Centre is positioned as the premier meeting venue in Canada's Capital. The Shaw brand will be visible on new interior and exterior signage and across all communications platforms in the coming months.
"The Shaw Centre reflects our commitment to strengthening our presence with our customers, communities, regulatory and government stakeholders in the nation's capital”, said Shaw CEO Brad Shaw, in Thursday’s news release. "We are honoured to be a partner of one of the world's greatest convention venues."
A bold, modern design, bright naturally-lit interior with magnificent views of the Rideau Canal and Parliament Hill, the three year old Shaw Centre offers an environmentally-responsible setting for Ottawa-based conventions, conferences, meetings and exhibits.
