"We are pleased to have extended our partnership with AIR MILES and continue to offer our customers the opportunity to earn and redeem AIR MILES in our Metro stores in the province of Ontario. Working closely with AIR MILES, we will continue to deploy in-store promotions and personalized programs that our customers have cherished for the past 17 years,” says Marc Giroux, Vice President and Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, Metro Inc.
