Kinaxis and Ottawa Senators Renew Partnership, Uniting National Capital Region
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada:
Kinaxis® (TSX:KXS), a global leader in end-to-end supply chain orchestration, is proud to announce a renewed three-year partnership with the Ottawa Senators and their AHL affiliate, the Belleville Senators. This collaboration is designed to amplify Kinaxis' brand visibility, deepen community roots, and create unforgettable experiences for customers, prospects, and employees.
As two proud Ottawa-based organizations, Kinaxis and the Senators will come together again to celebrate local talent, foster youth development, and drive meaningful community engagement. The partnership will also spotlight the Kinaxis brand across high-visibility platforms—including center ice at Canadian Tire Centre, LED rings, and digital dashboards during home and away games—ensuring a powerful presence throughout the NHL season.
'At Kinaxis, we believe in the power of community and the importance of showing up where it matters most,' said Megan Paterson, chief operating officer at Kinaxis. 'This partnership is more than just branding – it's about connecting with people, supporting local causes, and creating a culture of pride and purpose for our employees, our customers, and the broader Ottawa community.'
As part of its commitment to community impact, Kinaxis will support two of the Senators' most meaningful philanthropic initiatives: Together We Ignite Hope Telethon – A region-wide fundraising campaign that supports youth-focused charities and grassroots programs across the National Capital Region. Funds raised go toward mental health services, education access, food security, and recreational opportunities for underserved youth.
Ottawa Senators Gala – The team's premier annual fundraising event, bringing together business and community leaders to raise funds for youth empowerment through sport, education, and wellness. Kinaxis' involvement helps expand the reach and impact of these programs, ensuring more young people have access to the tools and support they need to thrive.
These initiatives align with Kinaxis' broader social impact strategy, which includes long-standing partnerships with organizations such as Interval House of Ottawa (supporting women and children fleeing violence), Quickstart Early Intervention for Autism, and The Ellen MacArthur Foundation (advancing circular economy education). Kinaxis also invests in the next generation of talent through its award-winning co-op program and has been recognized as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers and a Top Employer for Young People.
The renewed partnership also brings employees, customers, and prospects closer to the action, with exclusive access to Senators games, community skate events at Canadian Tire Centre, and behind-the-scenes experiences that foster lasting connections within the community.
'This collaboration is a celebration of shared values—excellence, innovation, and community,' said Cyril Leeder, president and CEO of the Ottawa Senators. 'Fresh off a playoff run that ignited our fans and our community, we're excited to have Kinaxis – a leader in Ottawa's tech community – in our Senators family to further the momentum from last season and look forward to continuing to build something truly special together.'
As Kinaxis continues to grow its global footprint, this partnership reinforces its identity as a purpose-driven brand rooted in community, innovation, and Canadian pride. For more information about Kinaxis visit kinaxis.com.

Supreme Court will hear GOP challenge to campaign spending limit
Republicans say that because of the limits, big donors have turned to `super PACs' that act as `shadow parties.' Elon Musk contributed $238.5 million to a super PAC that helped elect President Trump. WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court will take up the regulation of money in politics in a case that could lead to the overturning of a 2001 decision limiting how much political parties can spend on advertising and other messaging in coordination with a federal candidate. The court on June 30 agreed to hear a challenge from Republicans to a federal regulation the Trump administration says it can't defend. The justices are likely to hear arguments in the fall and hand down a decision next year. The GOP argues the law and the facts have changed since the Supreme Court last considered the issue. As a result, they said, political parties have been weakened and leading donors have turned to 'super PACs' that act as 'shadow parties,' hurting the political system. Elon Musk contributed $238.5 million to one of the super PACs that helped elect President Donald Trump. The case was initiated by Vice President JD Vance when he was a senator, along with former Rep. Steve Chabot, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee. The challenge is part of longstanding debate over how to balance free speech rights with preventing corruption. The Supreme Court previously said restrictions on how much the parties can spend in direct coordination with a candidate are allowed to prevent donors from evading limits on how much they can contribute to candidates. But Republicans argue other Supreme Court decisions since then have narrowed the reasons Congress can restrict campaign spending and have led to virtually unlimited spending by super PACs. In addition, Congress has amended the campaign finance laws to allow more coordinated spending in some areas, such as presidential nominating conventions. The Cincinnati-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the challenge, saying their hands were tied by the high court's 2001 decision. 'Even when the Supreme Court embraces a new line of reasoning in a given area and even when that reasoning allegedly undercuts the foundation of a decision,' Chief Judge Jeffrey Sutton wrote for the appeals court, 'it remains the Court's job, not ours, to overrule it.'

Valtteri Bottas Linked to Alpine F1 Team Amid Cadillac Rumors
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Mercedes reserve driver Valtteri Bottas has been linked to a potential move to the Alpine Formula One team in 2026. The report arrives amid talks of him being considered for a seat in the Cadillac F1 team next year, marking the outfit's debut and the beginning of a new era of regulations in the sport. Bottas was dropped by Sauber at the end of 2024. Since then, he has been a reserve driver with Mercedes, a team he raced for from 2017 to 2021. The Finn is keen on a full-time seat with one of the teams on the grid, but with a competitive driver market, Cadillac looked to be ideal way to get back. However, according to a report by The Race, Bottas could be an Alpine F1 driver by the end of this year if the Enstone-based outfit decides to drop Franco Colapinto. For the same reason, Alpine's executive advisor and interim team principal, Flavio Briatore, held talks with Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff on Bottas' availability. Valtteri Bottas of Finland and Mercedes look son in the paddock during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Emilia-Romagna at Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari on May 15, 2025 in Imola,... Valtteri Bottas of Finland and Mercedes look son in the paddock during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Emilia-Romagna at Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari on May 15, 2025 in Imola, Italy. MoreWhile talks have not reached an advanced stage, the reports suggest Briatore's interest in signing Bottas for the future. The shift from Mercedes to Alpine could be a smooth one for the 35-year-old driver, since Alpine is set to become a Mercedes customer team next year. However, it remains to be seen if racing for Alpine is something that appeals to Bottas. If Bottas got really lucky, he could find himself with two offers on the table - one from Alpine and another from Cadillac. However, he has given himself the time until August of this year to finalize his future. Newsweek Sports reported Bottas' comments from a recent interview, where he revealed his interest in Cadillac. He said: "I think they have a few drivers on the list. I would imagine my experience will help because now I've raced in three different teams, with one of the teams having mega success. With Williams as well, we had some great results, so I hope I'm in a good position. "I know my timeline, when I want to know about next year and what plans I need to make, which I think is more or less August, which is a pretty good target for that, and hopefully, we'll hear something more soon. "For me, I actually see a very interesting project, something new to F1, an American team with maybe a different view to the sport. "If I were there as a driver, it would be very interesting because you can start from scratch. "The team starts from zero. You could actually make a big influence on certain things, which direction to go, and that would be very motivating and rewarding when the success comes. "I think the rule change is always a good point to jump in because you just never know, if you suddenly get it right, you might actually be doing really well from the get-go."
