The centre’s site, located on Dickson Avenue in the Landmark District, will begin construction early next year and will start hiring for the centre next spring.
According to a Rogers Communications release, Rogers had a roughly $2 billion economic footprint in B.C. in 2018. The Okanagan expansion adds to the investments made into the province.
“It’s great to see this investment in Kelowna,” said Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran.
“With our growing technology sector, along with every other kind of business, communications technology is essential to keeping our local economy going strong.”
