Skate Canada Announces Bloomex as Official Florist

It's a proud day for Bloomex! Following a successful collaboration at several events in 2015, Skate Canada announced yesterday that it has signed a two year agreement with Bloomex to engage them as the Official Florist of Skate Canada.

"This is is a great example of a partnership that supports Skate Canada’s various constituents, from high performance to the grassroots community,” said Dan Thompson, CEO, Skate Canada. “Bloomex’s nation-wide reach ensures us reliability, quality, and consistency at all of our events and to our membership.”

Bloomex will supply podium bouquets, floral arrangements, centerpieces, judge’s bouquets, corsages and gift baskets at all Skate Canada events including Skate Canada International and the Canadian Tire National Skating Championships. 

The relationship extends beyond events through Bloomex’s offer of a special discount to all Skate Canada members, clubs, schools and sections. They will also offer teddy bears and flowers at reduced rates for fundraising drives.
