MISSISSAUGA, Ontario — April 04, 2024—Canada Dry Mott’s Inc., doing business as Keurig Dr Pepper Canada (“KDP Canada”), and the Toronto Blue JaysTM announced today a strategic multi-year partnership that will bring new and exciting experiences and offerings to engage fans in the ballpark and across Canada.
Beginning as of the 2024 season, fans visiting the newly renovated Rogers Centre can enjoy a wide range of KDP Canada’s most beloved products, including the introduction of Canada Dry®, Mott’s® Clamato®, Dr Pepper®, Crush®, and Atypique®.

“We’re delighted to be able to offer Blue Jays fans the chance to enjoy their favourite Canadian brands such as Canada Dry® and Mott’s® Clamato®, as well as other iconic beverages like Dr Pepper® and Crush®, when they visit Rogers Centre. We are also proud to offer a non-alcoholic alternative with our taste-forward line-up of Atypique® mocktails,” stated Jean Gagnon, Senior Director, Cold Beverages, Keurig Dr Pepper Canada. “This partnership represents a unique opportunity to directly engage our brands with Canadian baseball fans in an environment where product enjoyment and leisure intersect to create memorable brand experiences.”
“Over the past two seasons, the Blue Jays fan experience has been completely reimagined, and with that, we are thrilled to introduce the Canada Dry® Bleachers to enhance the Outfield District at Rogers Centre, and welcome KDP Canada’s quintessential Canadian products to the ballpark,” said David O’Reilly, Director, Toronto Blue JaysTM. “We are excited to continue collaborating with Keurig Dr Pepper Canada to bring engaging experiences to life for Blue Jays fans across Canada for many seasons to come.”
