City Announces Co-op as Naming Partner for Regional Event Centre
South Country Co-op has a long history of investing in Medicine Hat and southern Alberta by supporting numerous organizations, events and causes, including the Medicine Hat and District Health Foundation, HALO, the Medicine Hat and District Foodbank and many more.
“This is great news for our community. We could not have found a more fitting partner for the regional event centre,” says Mayor Ted Clugston. “Their commitment to Medicine Hat and southern Alberta is evident not only by their many acts of generosity, but also their persistence in investing in the community – even when times are uncertain.”
The agreement will see the regional event centre, currently named after Canalta Real Estate Services Inc., renamed Co-op Place.
“We’re excited with this new partnership and look forward to working with our friends at South Country Co-op on new opportunities to promote the facility and all it has to offer,” says Brian Mastel, Commissioner of Public Services. “We also want to thank Canalta for their support over the past five years.”
City staff expect installation of new facility signage to be complete in the coming months, providing a visible reminder to the community of the transition from Canalta Centre to Co-Op Place.
Officials with South Country Co-op echo the enthusiasm for the new partnership.
“Our goal is to be a partner in the communities we serve and make a difference in the lives of residents across southern Alberta,” says Paul Haynes, CEO of South Country Co-op Limited “We’re proud to have our name on the regional event centre, and look forward to welcoming visitors to Co-op Place.”
