FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tellier Pharmacy Supports World Event (Bonnyville, Alberta – June 16, 2016) Tellier Guardian Pharmacy today announced a $10,000 sponsorship for the 2016 World Jr. A Challenge. The WJAC is a showcase of Canadian and International Junior A talent and it’s returning to Alberta for the second time in tournament history when Bonnyville welcomes the event December 11-17, 2016. “This is such an exciting opportunity to be apart of,” said Owners Paul & Ruth Tellier. “We thought the team sponsorship package fits perfectly with what our business is all about,” added Paul Tellier. “Not only do we get to assist in bringing this world class event to our town but with the Team Sponsorship package there’s an element to incorporate our youth as well. We have been serving the community for 45 years and we’re so delighted to partner with community members to put Bonnyville on the map.” “This is the largest event, hockey or otherwise, ever to come to Bonnyville.” Said Robb Hunter Committee Co- Chair. “The World Junior Challenge’s economic impact to its host community has been historically well over $2 million,” Hunter said. “In these challenging economic times, our group, and the Bonnyville Pontiacs organization saw the World Junior A Challenge as a way to give back to the community, help fill hotel rooms, fill restaurants and bring people to our region who will spend money in our stores.” While the tournament will bring much-needed relief to the service industry, hit hard by the drop in oil prices, the tournament is also a chance to bring world-class hockey to a community that lives and breathes the sport. 5015 50 Avenue Bonnyville, AB T 9 N 2 J 5 www.tellierpharmacy.ca 780-826-3789 The 2016 World Junior A Challenge represents a partnership between Hockey Canada, the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL), the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), the National Hockey League (NHL), and Hockey Alberta, as well as the local host committee and community volunteers.
