The City of Grande Prairie has signed a five-year naming rights agreement with West Fraser Timber Company for the Eastlink Centre Fieldhouse.
West Fraser is a wood products company with more than 60 facilities in Canada, the United States, and Europe, with a local facility in Grande Prairie as well.
The fieldhouse has already taken on its new name and boasts an 18,000-square-foot gymnasium with enough room for 1,192 athletes and 445 spectators. The fieldhouse has been a staple in Grande Prairie for a number of years, and Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton says it will continue to serve as an integral part of athletics in the city at a provincial and local level every year.
“The West Fraser Fieldhouse signifies a significant investment in our community’s well-being while fostering an environment for competition, active lifestyles, and gathering,” she says. “This naming rights agreement not only enhances our recreational offerings but also underscores our commitment to creating a vibrant and inclusive space for residents and visitors alike.”
A full list of activities scheduled at the newly named fieldhouse is available on the City of Grande Prairie’s website.
