The Royal Bank has won the bidding war for the naming rights to the Winnipeg Convention Centre.

The announcement was made this morning at a news conference held on a second-floor rooftop patio overlooking the parking lot where a $180-million-plus expansion of the convention centre will be built over the next two and a half years.

WCC president and CEO Klaus Lahr refused to say how many other companies bid for the rights or how much RBC paid.
