"The 2008 Saturn Astra is the single best selling car in Europe," says Yves Laberge, Vice President and General Manager of Turpin Saturn Saab. "And now it's available in Canada." With an impressive list of standard features, the Astra is described as a sport- compact with features like firm European tuned suspension, premium sport seating, and a high-output Ecotek engine. It's the type of car that allows you to forget about some of life's distractions and instead focus on the thrill of driving.
Being a major sponsor of Tour Nortel is something the people at Turpin Saturn Saab are extremely proud of, but it is also something they feel is simply part of the responsibility that goes with being a part of a community.
"We have had an ongoing relationship with CHEO for quite some time," says Mr. Laberge, "and it has been a great association. It has been an opportunity to give back to the community, whether it's through The Ottawa Hospital and CHEO Lottery that we are involved in with the Palladium Auto Park, The CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Lottery, or in this case, through Tour Nortel." In 2007, 5,000 riders, in-line skaters and walkers, along with many corporate supporters raised an incredible total of $684,000 for the benefit of The Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Candlelighters, and Ronald McDonald House.
