"Building off the success of hosting 100 heroes in partnership with IGA during our first game with fans this past Saturday, we're thrilled to expand our initiative and this time ask fans to nominate frontline workers" said France Margaret Belanger, Canadiens Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer. "There are countless deserving heroes who have answered incredible challenges over the past 14 months throughout our community, and we're honored to be able to thank some of them in this small way with each successive home game in the 2021 Playoffs."
"Thanking the frontline workers for their dedication during this pandemic by offering them access to the IGA Heroes Section was not only natural, but essential for us. With the right to finally welcome fans into the Bell Centre, we are thrilled to extend the invitation to a larger number of heroes to recognize their service, allow them to cheer on our Canadiens in the playoffs, and enjoy a well-deserved break" said Carl Pichette, Vice-President of Marketing, Sobeys, Quebec.
