The three-year partnership will see Peoples Jewellers become the Official Jeweller of the Maple Leafs and will feature exciting fan experiences, both in-store and in-arena. A highlight of the partnership is the “Ultimate Penalty Kill” promotion, which will give one Leafs fan at each home game the opportunity to win jewelry from Peoples Jewellers should the Leafs score a short-handed goal during a penalty kill. “We are truly thrilled to be the Official Jeweller of the Toronto Maple Leafs and excited by the unique opportunity we have to deliver memorable experiences for fans and guests,” said Scott Davies, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Peoples Jewellers. “From the interactive in-arena promotions to the special in-store events we have planned, this will be an amazing season both on and off the ice.” In addition to the “Ultimate Penalty Kill” promotion, Peoples will also have a strong in-arena presence at the Air Canada Centre, including branding on the Bremner Board in Maple Leaf Square, concourse signage and executive suite digital screen prominence. Fans will also be able to celebrate their favourite team over the course of the season through three in-store events at Peoples Jewellers locations in Toronto. “MLSE is extremely excited to welcome Peoples Jewellers as the Official Jeweller of the Toronto Maple Leafs,” said Jeff Deline, Vice President, Global Partnerships, MLSE.

  • Community Benefits Quarterly
    EGLINTON CROSSTOWN Community Benefits and Liaison Plan Summary & Progress To-Date 6 201 DECEMBER Photo: Crosslinx Transit Solutions, 2016. Transit Crosslinx Photo: Photo: Crosslinx Transit Solutions, 2016. I. INTRODUCTION Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario selected Crosslinx Transit Solutions to design, build, finance and maintain the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (ECLRT) project, the first major transit expansion in 50 years. The provincial government’s $5.3 billion Crosstown investment is the single largest GTA transit investment ever. When it’s up and running, the Crosstown will deliver service that is reliable, comfortable and 60 percent faster than what is now available. What’s more, building the line is creating thousands of jobs, 2,500 at peak construction, and other significant economic benefits. The Crosstown is also unique because it is Ontario’s first large- scale public infrastructure project to contractually require the developer, CTS, to ensure that local communities and historically disadvantaged and equity seeking groups directly benefit from the province’s investment. Historically disadvantaged and equity seeking groups (H&E) refer to groups that have been historically excluded or marginalized from the processes and decisions that affect them. To meet this requirement, CTS is providing a range of employment, training and apprenticeship opportunities to these groups, as well as purchasing goods and services from local suppliers and social enterprises, whenever possible. 1 Photo: Crosslinx Transit Solutions, 2016. II. PROJECT AGREEMENT REQUIREMENTS Eglinton Crosstown Project Agreement Requirements The objective of the Community Benefits and Liaison Plan Community Benefits is to maximize training, employment and procurement The Project Agreement mandates a plan that includes: opportunities for Eglinton-area residents and businesses.
