Laurentian Bank to be principal sponsor of the South Shore Regional Soccer Association for the fifth year

MONTREAL, June 3 /CNW Telbec/ - Laurentian Bank is proud to be renewing its association with the South Shore Regional Soccer Association (SSRSA) for the fifth consecutive year as principal sponsor. Officially launched today, this year's soccer season will culminate September 19-20 with the presentation of the Laurentian Bank Cup.

"The Bank and its employees are delighted to be contributing to the promotion of a game like soccer that is so readily accessible to families and is constantly growing in popularity," underlined Lucie Méthot, Assistant Vice-President, Montréal South Shore Regional Market. "At Laurentian Bank, we firmly believe that it is very important to encourage children to play sports in order to enable them to be physically fit while learning the rules of the various games and developing team spirit."

Each year, on the South Shore like elsewhere in Québec, a large number of Laurentian Bank employees serve as volunteers and get involved with different soccer organizations. This partnership with the SSRSA is perfectly aligned with the family orientation adopted by the Bank and its dedication to being part of the life of the communities in which it operates.
