Nagano Skate is proud to have signed a four-year partnership with Speed Skating Quebec (PVQ). This is a second agreement between our two organizations, confirming our title as Official Sponsor of PVQ. Members of the Quebec speed skating community will benefit from the advantages of this partnership, which will also enhance the visibility of this sport.
This association allows us to successfully pursue a shared vision of excellence, leadership, and growth in a healthy environment. We are experiencing significant growth in the sports community, establishing ourselves as a recognized choice brand in the field. For its part, PVQ remains the most prolific provincial federation in Canada in terms of membership numbers, project development, and international success.
The agreement provides for a significant annual investment on our part that will benefit PVQ members. We will endorse the title of “Nagano Skate Provincial Circuit”, crown the PVQ Stars of the Month, and be a proud presenting sponsor of the Festival of Vives Lames, a festive and unifying event organized over several meetings during the season.
“It is a great pride for us to continue this adventure with Speed Skating Quebec. Since our beginnings, our desire has always been to support the development of local athletes and contribute to the growth of the sport. This partnership allows us to provide them with the necessary tools to succeed, while inspiring the next generation to think big and believe in their potential. Beyond the support we already provide to national teams, accompanying the progress of Quebec athletes remains an essential mission for us to build a sustainable legacy.”
