CALGARY – Canada’s newest national wireless provider officially launched in Calgary on Friday, opening seven retail locations across the city.
As a part of the official launch, Wind Mobile unveiled an 8-foot monument outside of the 17th Avenue store location as a tribute to the tens of thousands of Canadians whose conversations “helped to shape Canada’s first truly competitive wireless alternative”, the company said in a press release.
"Today marks a new chapter for wireless in Canada," said Anthony Lacavera, chairman of Globalive and Wind, in the release. "Thank you to the thousands of Canadians who have helped us to build Wind Mobile. We’ve listened to those conversations, and now we’re very proud to announce our offerings as a direct result of all the feedback. Wind is Canada’s company. Built by Canadians, for Canadians."
Wind Mobile opened stores in the Greater Toronto Area earlier in the week. The company said that it will roll out in Vancouver, Ottawa and Edmonton at some point in the new year.
