Mutual insurance giant Beneva – the company formed from the combination of La Capitale Insurance and Financial Services and SSQ Insurance – has announced the renewal of its sponsorship deal with Vidéotron Centre.
The agreement continues La Capitale’s partnership with Québec City’s second largest indoor arena, which hosts the Québec Remparts hockey team, dating back to 2017.
As part of the new deal, the stadium’s corporate section, currently known as Le Loft Le Capitale, will be renamed Le Loft Beneva and redecorated using the merged entity’s colours. The mutual insurer will also become the official presenter of the Vidéotron Centre’s calendar of events and the major sponsor of the Québec Remparts.
