Ownership gives us full control over operations of the boards. We will be investing in technical upgrades, which will improve the reliability of the boards. OUTFRONT's portfolio in Edmonton currently includes 33 digital displays, 266 static posters and 124 street level faces, with excellent total market coverage generating approximately ten million daily impressions," said Michele Erskine, Chief Executive Officer, OUTFRONT Canada.
