Recreation Centre Naming Rights

February 16, 2024

The Town of Greater Napanee welcomes proposals to secure the naming rights for the Recreation
Centre located at 16 McPherson Drive, Napanee (the arena) with the intent to negotiate and enter
into a sponsorship agreement with the Town of Greater Napanee.

The Town of Greater Napanee is seeking to enter into a 10-year naming and sponsorship agreement
with a business or organization that strategically aligns with our mission. The Recreation Centre
naming rights package offers the successful proponent:
• Interior and exterior building signage.
• Website, social media, electronic and print material.
• All Recreation Centre related news releases.
• Our facility booking software, which creates all invoices, receipts, and schedules.

The Town of Greater Napanee promotes cultural growth, health, wellness, and fitness for all residents
in the Lennox and Addington region and offers opportunities to participate in a wide range of activities
by providing exceptional recreational, leisure and cultural facilities.

Designed primarily as a twin-pad ice arena, this multi-purpose community facility is also available for
conferences, weddings, trade shows, graduations, parties, and meetings of all kinds. There are
rooms to comfortably accommodate small groups or large gatherings, allowing a wide range of social,
sporting, and cultural activities.

The Recreation Centre is located adjacent to nationally branded hotels and restaurants and is within
proximity to a secondary school and two elementary schools.

Many different user groups including minor hockey, junior hockey, skating club, soccer, seniors’
activities and more attend our facility throughout the year bringing lots of exposure to your company.
In each of the last two years, the foot traffic at the Recreation Centre has been over 150,000. The
Recreation Centre hosts various events throughout the year and boasts a diverse audience
generating tens of thousands of impressions each year.

The Recreation Centre is adjacent to highway 401 with average daytime vehicle traffic being 40,000
(2016).

Our facility brings a diverse group of visitors including young children to seniors cheering on the
younger generations. The vast range of people allows the ability to target varied demographics. While
Greater Napanee has 16,000 residents, the Recreation Centre draws from surrounding municipalities
as well as regularly hosting user groups from the cities of Kingston and Belleville.
