VANCOUVER, August 12, 2024 \u2013 The PNE is pleased to announce an important new corporate sponsorship for 2024 signing an agreement for Interac Corp. (Interac) <\/strong>to be the presenting partner of the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) and preferred payment method for the Fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to welcome Interac as a new sponsoring partner of our organization,\u201d says Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Business Development Karen Massicotte. \u201cGiven the number of annual transactions on our site across our many business streams, including the PNE Fair, this is a collaboration that assists our guests in many tangible ways.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the benefits of the new relationship that is sure to be a hit with Fair guests includes a special Interac InLife Lounge in the Kids area of Playland. This lounge will be open during the Fair and will remain throughout the Playland season for the next three years. This fun, interactive area will allow young Fairgoers and families a special place to cool down thanks to the help of misters, a water refill station and unique experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests can look forward to a fresh experience at The Market presented by Interac, the newly rebranded popular Marketplace building. This area will showcase the latest home products, featuring a variety of new artisan vendors. In addition, this partnership has made it possible to showcase a new section filled with a rotating group of small business and artisan exhibitors from FACE (Federation of African Canadian Economics). FACE is a national and bilingual, Black-led not-for-profit organization that focuses on providing resources and information to businesses across Canada founded and led by people of African descent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with the PNE for the next three years to bring payment choice to Fairgoers,\u201d says Glenn Wolff, Group Head and Chief Client Officer, Interac. \u201cAs the preferred payment method for the PNE, we\u2019re helping make it easy for Fairgoers to securely and conveniently tap to pay for food, beverages, and game fare using their own funds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
