What a weekend in Châteauguay! Public Mobile’s newest store is now open and we brought hockey legend Guy Lafleur along to celebrate.
The event was a huge success, with over 250 excited hockey fans in attendance. We handed out cards so that fans could get an autograph although many brought their own memorabilia for Guy to sign! He was also happy to pose for photos with some of our lucky customers.
Have a look at our album on Facebook to see photos of the event!

For many of our customers this time of year signals the beginning of Back to School season. And that usually goes hand in hand with Back to School shopping: a new wardrobe, new shoes, new school supplies and countless other things. To help you keep your budget on track, we’ve been posting useful tips on our Facebook page throughout the week. If you missed them or need to consult them once again, here they are:
Top 5 Back to School Budget Tips for Parents Presented by Public Mobile
1. Have a game plan
Make a list of all Back to School items that you think your child will need. This will help control your spending and ensure that you stay on top of your budget.
2. Shop alone
The best way to stick to your list is to shop alone. This will help avoid a cart full of unnecessary items and separate the wants from the needs.
3. Recycle supplies
Re-use what you can. If the binder, backpack or pencil case are all still in good shape, don’t toss them in the garbage just yet. See what supplies you have from last year and salvage what you can.
4. Prepare lunches
This is a great way to satisfy your wallet and your children’s appetites. There are tons of great recipe ideas online that are affordable, healthy and delicious!
5. Choose a cell phone that’s right for you
What can really make your heart stop is your child’s mobile phone bill. To avoid any surprises, do your research and buy a plan that is right for you. Public Mobile offers a wide variety of unlimited and affordable mobile phone services with no contracts or credit check.

Public Mobile was one of the proud co-sponsors of the “Taste of Italy” event that took place on College Street in Toronto over the weekend of June 18th.
The 12th edition of the event was a huge – and delicious – success! Approximately 200,000 people were in attendance, all of them there to connect with the community and to take part in cultural activities. 45 local restaurants provided samples of their finest lasagna, lamb skewers, meatball sandwiches and fresh crêpes. The event also featured performances from aboriginal, jazz and independent musicians adding to the lively atmosphere!
What makes this kind of event particularly special for us is that we get to connect with the community, meet new people and learn more about what matters to them.
If you attended the ‘Taste of Little Italy’ event, please write in and tell us about some of the highlights!

Yesterday marked a full year since we launched service in Toronto, Ontario and expanded into the Greater Toronto Area, servicing a network from Hamilton to Oshawa. We are very proud of the progress that our company has made in the past year and, more importantly, of the relationships we’ve built with our customers and employees.
Your commitment and support, as well as our own, has allowed us to stay competitive in this challenging market and to provide you with plans and products that truly make it possible for everybody to talk.
We also feel very fortunate to have been involved with youth programs in communities we service. To date we’ve sponsored 120 local soccer teams, donated 5,000 back-to-school kits to elementary and high school students, as well as supporting community initiatives with phones, monthly phone service and charitable donations.
But it doesn’t end there. With a successful first year under our belt, we are more motivated than ever to continue changing our country’s telecommunications industry for the better. As Public Mobile’s CEO Alek Krstajic said, “we serve the needs of hard-working Canadians and we’re always looking for new and exciting ways to give back to the communities that have been a constant source of support.”
On behalf of everyone at Public Mobile, thank you.
