EGGLETON WELCOMES STENTOR ALLIANCE AS
"PARTNER IN TRADE"
The Honourable Art Eggleton, Minister for International Trade, today welcomed the
participation of Stentor Alliance as an official sponsor of the 1996 Canada Export
Awards. Stentor, the alliance of full-service telephone companies, will join
other 1996 corporate sponsors -- the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and the
Export Development Corporation.
"The collaborative efforts between government and the private sector in this
year's Canada Export Awards program is a testimony to the Team Canada approach to
international trade," said Mr. Eggleton. "It is with great pleasure that the
Department along with these three respected organizations acknowledge the
outstanding achievements of successful Canadian companies."
"Today's most competitive businesses must be able to sell their products and
services, technology and ideas to serve their customers wherever they may be. We
are proud to be part of this program to recognize Canadian success stories," said
Carol Stephenson, President and CEO, Stentor Resource Centre Inc.
The Canada Export Awards are presented annually by the Department of Foreign
Affairs and International Trade to Canadian companies that have achieved success
in the international marketplace. This year's presentation will be held on
October 7, 1996, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in conjunction with the annual convention
of the Canadian Exporters' Association.
