(TSX: GURU) (“GURU” or the “Company”), Canada’s leading organic energy drink brand, is pleased to announce three new partnerships with major Canadian ski resorts, made possible in part thanks to its recently launched exclusive distribution agreement with PepsiCo® Beverages Canada.

The Company will ensure any promotional activities undertaken comply with COVID-19 public health guidelines in place.
“We are pleased to partner with GURU, which will certainly contribute to creating links with outdoor enthusiasts and enliven our various activity zones and theme days,” mentioned Marc-André Meunier, Bromont's Director of Sales and Marketing. “We see this partnership as an opportunity to enhance our offer and the experience of Bromont, montagne d'expériences' customers.”
