Alda Pharmaceuticals has signed a multi-year partnership with the Richmond Olympic Oval Corporation that will see it sponsor the stadium, which will host twelve speed skating medal events during the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.

Alda will be the exclusive supplier of hand sanitation and disinfectant products to the stadium, and will receive extensive advertising exposure in the facility and on its website.

I believe that Alda will be a great partner in helping our staff, members and programme participants achieve their healthy living goals and that the Oval will be an excellent showcase for their products to the rest of the world."
