Baton Rouge, LA – April 3, 2012 – Commuters in the city of Kelowna, BC, will have more eye-catching ads to look at on buses for the next three years, thanks to a new advertising contract renewal. Lamar Advertising Company (Nasdaq: LAMR) renewed their transit advertising agreement with Kelowna Regional Transit for an additional three year term through December 31, 2014.
“Kelowna is Canada’s third fastest growing city, and we are pleased to continue our relationship with The City of Kelowna,” said Darren Peck, Sales Manager of Lamar Transit Advertising.
