BCE Inc.'s Astral Out-of-Home, a division of Bell Media, has completed the acquisition of 28 Toronto mural locations owned by Strategic Outdoor. With this transaction, Astral Out-of-Home now offers 32 murals in key, high-traffic areas in downtown Toronto.

"Astral Out-of-Home is focused on continued growth, and this announcement comes on the heels of our launch of 40 new digital transit shelters in downtown Toronto last month," said Luc Quetel, president, Astral Out-of-Home. "Now we continue our commitment to large format out-of-home advertising with the purchase of Strategic Outdoor, a company committed to service and strong business values. It was a pleasure to collaborate with Mitch and Daniel, two great entrepreneurs."
