Giant Tiger Announces Partnership with Dress for Success Ottawa

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 7, 2013) - In celebration of International Women's Day on
March 8, Giant Tiger Stores Limited is pleased to announce our partnership with Dress for Success Ottawa.

Giant Tiger Presents: Developing Your Personal Style is a series of interactive workshops that focuses on teaching participants the fundamentals of dressing for work with an emphasis on such key topics as shopping to budget, style vs. fashion and how to stretch your wardrobe pieces. These sessions will wrap up with an in-store shopping experience for participants hosted by our Giant Tiger Stylists.

"We are so proud of the women who are a part of Dress for Success. Entering or re-entering the workforce after a prolonged absence can be a very daunting proposition," offers Lauren Moir, Vice President of Marketing at Giant Tiger. "The program that we are sponsoring is a natural extension of our brand values. We really want women to understand that dressing for work does not have to be costly. By choosing key pieces and shopping "smart" everyone can be work wear ready!"

"Dress for Success Ottawa is thrilled to have Giant Tiger as the Title Sponsor of our Developing Your Personal Style Sessions," says Maureen O'Neill, Dress for Success Ottawa Board Member and Co-Chair of Fund Development. "Giant Tiger's commitment to making a difference in the lives of women in the Ottawa community is commendable and makes them an ideal partner for us. We look forward to collaborating with Giant Tiger to meet our mutual objective to fulfill the universal desire of women to become self-sufficient and independent for themselves and their families."
