Vancouver, BC - April 1, 2025 - As Canadian cities gear up for major events and infrastructure upgrades, a wave of new procurements is set to boost local economies, enhance tourism experiences, and support sustainability initiatives. Notably, Vancouver and Toronto are among the cities benefiting from investments in key areas such as beverage supply, wayfinding for international events, and green transportation solutions, thanks to the world class soccer tournament arriving in June 2026.

One of the most exciting procurements is the Supply and Delivery of Beer contract, which will ensure a steady supply of draft and canned beer for events, festivals, and public spaces. This is particularly significant with Canada co-hosting the FIFA World Cup in June 2026, where local and international fans will seek high-quality refreshments while enjoying world-class soccer matches. This contract provides opportunities for breweries to showcase their products on a grand scale, boosting local businesses and contributing to a memorable fan experience.

Another crucial procurement is the Supply and Delivery of Coffee Products and Equipment for VBPR (Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation). With the growing demand for premium coffee experiences, this initiative ensures that parks and recreational facilities are well-equipped to serve high-quality brews. This not only benefits local suppliers but also enhances the experience of both tourists and residents who frequent Vancouver’s green spaces.

For the FIFA World Cup, Vancouver is investing in Wayfinding, Dressing, and Signage Services to ensure seamless navigation for attendees. With thousands of visitors expected, clear and effective signage will play a crucial role in guiding fans to stadiums, transportation hubs, and city attractions, improving overall accessibility and visitor satisfaction.

Beyond event-related procurements, infrastructure improvements are also in full swing. The Provision of City Fleet Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure project aligns with Canada’s sustainability goals by expanding EV charging networks for municipal fleets. This initiative promotes green transportation and positions cities like Vancouver as leaders in environmental responsibility.

Beyond event-related procurements, infrastructure improvements are also in full swing. The Provision of City Fleet Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure project aligns with Canada’s sustainability goals by expanding EV charging networks for municipal fleets. However, this initiative comes at a time when Canada has frozen all rebate payments for Tesla and excluded the company from future EV rebate programs due to U.S. tariffs imposed against Canada. Despite these trade tensions, cities like Vancouver continue to push forward with green transportation investments, reinforcing their commitment to sustainability and environmental leadership.

These procurements, and many others, signal a strong commitment to enhancing tourism, economic growth, and sustainability across Canada. As cities prepare for major global events and long-term infrastructure improvements, these investments will leave a lasting impact, ensuring a vibrant and welcoming experience for visitors and residents alike.
