Investment includes a third Montreal campus and the expansion of existing campuses in Montreal and Quebec City

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Vantage Data Centers, a leading global provider of hyperscale data center campuses, today announced it will invest an additional CAD$900 million to rapidly scale its Canadian operations, including the development of a third campus in Montreal and the expansion of two existing campuses in Montreal and Quebec City. These developments bring the total number of Vantage campuses in the Province of Quebec to four.

Vantage is further expanding its QC4 Montreal campus with a third facility totaling 21MW and 94,000 square feet, which is slated to open its doors in the fourth quarter of 2022. Once fully developed, the campus will offer customers 48MW of IT capacity and be powered by nearly 100% renewable energy from Hydro-Québec.

In addition, Vantage has begun construction of a third Montreal data center campus (QC6), which will also be powered with nearly 100% renewable energy.

In Quebec City, Vantage has acquired an additional eight acres of land to expand the growing QC2 campus.

Customer demand for sustainable data centers in the province is fueling Vantage’s growth in the region. The expansion of the QC2 campus is being partially funded by Société Générale, one of Europe’s leading financial services groups offering sustainability-linked financing options. A portion of the campus was approved for a “green loan,” a first for Vantage, by meeting specific requirements, including the use of nearly 100% renewable energy, the low amount of anticipated carbon emissions, water conservation, an industry-leading design Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and an energy management plan to ensure high operational performance.

Vantage has been aggressively expanding across the Province of Quebec since it acquired Canada-based 4Degrees Colocation from Videotron Ltd., a Quebecor Media Inc. (QMI) subsidiary, in January 2019. With these new expansions, Vantage will have four campuses totaling 143MW of IT capacity in the province with a combined investment approaching CAD$1.7 billion. The company is committed to building sustainable data center campuses and has recently pledged to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030.

“Our continued investment and expansion in the Province of Quebec cements Vantage Data Centers as the largest hyperscale digital infrastructure provider in Canada,” said Maxime Guévin, vice president and general manager of Vantage’s Canadian business. “The Quebec Province is an ideal location for data centers due to our green and affordable power options, rich connectivity, cool climate and business-friendly culture. We look forward to welcoming our global customers to our new facilities later this year.”

The continued expansion in Canada is part of a global growth strategy that Vantage has undertaken since it first entered the Canadian market. After entering six markets in Europe in 2020, the company recently entered five markets in Asia Pacific and broke ground on its first African campus in Johannesburg.

We are fortunate to have a company that is committed to the attractiveness of our Capitale-Nationale region, but also to its potential and its boldness.”

“The announcement of these key growth projects by Vantage truly demonstrates the appeal of our ecosystems for companies in strategic sectors that are looking for stable and sustainable economic development.

This major investment contributes to a 150% increase in the site’s capacity and confirms Quebec City as a leader in the data center industry.”

– Carl Viel, President and CEO of Québec International

“As businesses look to limit their carbon footprint, Greater Montreal is very well positioned to support them. The digital world we live in is generating more and more data that needs to be stored.

We are therefore proud to support major players who develop sustainable solutions and contribute to the positioning of our city in the field of technological innovations.”

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#bestrestroom—Cintas Canada, Ltd. is asking the public to help identify Instagrammable washrooms for the 2022 Canada’s Best Restroom contest. Are you a business owner with a fantastic facility? Have you visited a business’ washroom that left you with a positive lasting impression? Nominate a deserving washroom today at bestrestroom.com/Canada. Nominations will be accepted through May 13, 2022.

The Canada’s Best Restroom contest highlights businesses that have invested in developing and maintaining exceptional washrooms. Nominees for this year’s contest will be judged on five criteria: cleanliness, visual appeal, innovation, functionality and unique design elements. Cintas Canada will select five finalists and ask the public to vote for the grand prize winner between June 6 and July 8, 2022. The winner will receive $2,500 in facility services from Cintas to help maintain their award-winning washrooms.

“A customer’s experience in the washroom can affect their perceived cleanliness of the whole facility, which can impact their experience and potential repeat business,” said Candice Raynsford, Marketing Manager, Cintas Canada. “Finalists in this contest deserve the utmost recognition for investing in clean and memorable washrooms. Businesses big and small can earn invaluable national exposure by participating in the contest.”

Last year’s winner, Borden Park in Edmonton, Alberta was crowned the grand prize winner for its single-level pavilion washrooms surrounded by highly reflective glass. “It was a privilege to be recognized by Cintas Canada for having washrooms that are inviting and clean for people to use,” said Nicole Fraser, General Supervisor of Planning and Monitoring, Infrastructure Operations at the City of Edmonton. “The pandemic has highlighted the importance of having accessibility to washrooms in parks and open spaces so that all Edmontonians and visitors to Edmonton can continue to access them.”
