As the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 approach, CF and the COC will harness the country’s energy and excitement to activate consumer experiences and viewing opportunities across their portfolio of shopping centres and office towers. As the Official Home of Team Canada, the partners will welcome and inspire Canadians and communities to unite, connect and rally behind our national athletes. Beyond the Games, the partners will look to build programming that emulates the passion, dedication and energy the Olympic Games and COC stand for.
As part of the agreement, the COC will be headquartered at CF’s 250 Yonge Street office tower, part of CF Toronto Eaton Centre’s office portfolio. The COC will make its home on the 30th floor post Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018.
