February 22 2019 - 10:30PM
Shaw Communications Inc, The Shuswap Recreation Society and the
City of Salmon Arm today announced the extension of the Shaw Centre
naming rights through to 2035.
As part of the partnership extension, the Shaw Centre has
received significant upgrades including a new sound system and
video wall in the Newnes Spectator Arena. These upgrades will
contribute to enhanced user and fan experience with
state-of-the-art equipment. In addition, Shaw will provide
operational contributions annually for the term of the
contract.
“Whether it’s to cheer on the Silverbacks, practice their
skating skills or celebrate a birthday, the people of Salmon Arm
have been drawn to Shaw Centre for nearly 20 years,” said Chethan
Lakshman, Vice President, External Affairs, Shaw Communications.
“We are pleased to be a central part of this growing community, and
we are excited to extend our relationship with Shuswap Recreation
Society and the City of Salmon Arm to continue to bring more
family, friends and fans together.”
For the Recreation Society and the City of Salmon Arm, this
partnership will deliver considerable capital and operational cost
savings resulting in long-term, direct tax savings to the City of
Salmon Arm.
“The City of Salmon Arm and the Shuswap Recreation Society Board
of Directors, management and staff feel very fortunate to have
developed such a lasting relationship with Shaw. This relationship
has provided a tremendous benefit to the users of the Shaw Centre
and the residents of Salmon Arm for nearly 20 years to date,” said
Darby Boyd, General Manager, Shuswap Recreation Centre.
“The extension of this previous sponsorship for the term of this
agreement will realize Shaw’s significant support in our community
for over 35 years in total. This contribution and the
resulting video wall and sound system will provide valuable assets
for the facility and our community for many years to come. We
wish to extend our sincere thanks to Shaw for their commitment to
Salmon Arm.”
