Moncton (NB) The crowd is cheering. Hearts are pumping. We are the Champions¯ is blaring over the loud speakers as the athletes take the floor. We were there for the 2009 Canada Games on Prince Edward Island. And well be there for the Canada Games in Halifax Nova Scotia in 2011.
It seems like yesterday we were wrapping up as the Platinum Sponsor of the 2009 Canada Games. Our hearts were filled with Richer Moments as we took with us the memories that will last a lifetime. Those few short weeks brought new friendships warm feelings of accomplishment and strengthened the bond we have as a community.
Atlantic Lottery has a tradition of supporting sport community and families across the region¯ said Michelle Carinci President and CEO of Atlantic Lottery. We are proud to continue that tradition with our sponsorship of the 2011 Canada Games in Halifax Nova Scotia.¯
Atlantic Lottery has been a proud supporter of the Canada Games for more than 30 years. This year we will once again assume the role of Platinum Sponsor for our contribution of $500000 in addition to sponsoring the volunteer program.
Events like the Canada Games could not happen without the help and support of the more than 5000 volunteers that come out every time. As sponsor of the volunteer program Atlantic Lottery employees will be on site at the volunteer lounges providing for the care and comfort of the hard working volunteers of the Canada Games.
Atlantic Lottery awards 90000 prizes big and small every day. 100% of our profits are returned to our communities. In addition to the over $240 Million awarded in prizes last year Atlantic Lottery also returned over $398 million to the four Atlantic Provinces.
