MONTREAL, Oct. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Saputo Inc. (“Saputo” or the “Company”) (TSX: SAP) is proud to mark the fifth anniversary of its Legacy Program. This initiative aims to improve the quality of sports and health facilities in the communities where the Company operates. Since its launch, Saputo has contributed approximately $2.3 million toward 38 projects in Canada, the United States, Argentina and Australia.
