Lloydminster’s new event facility to be named Cenovus Energy Hub
June 27 2023 - 5:00PM
The City of Lloydminster and Cenovus Energy today announced the
region’s newest event facility will be called the Cenovus Energy
Hub. Cenovus’s $5 million contribution towards naming rights,
construction and programming demonstrates its continued commitment
to Lloydminster and the surrounding area.
"Investing in the communities where we operate is integral to
how we do business," said Jon McKenzie, Cenovus President &
Chief Executive Officer. "More than 2,000 of our staff and their
families live and play in this region, and our contribution to the
Cenovus Energy Hub is a great way to connect them and their
neighbours through recreational activities, cultural programming
and landmark events and celebrations.
"Our company has been part of this area for more than 80 years,
and we plan to be an important part of the community for a long
time to come. I'm looking forward to coming back and seeing the hub
full of families and youth enjoying themselves."
The highly anticipated event facility aims to be the cornerstone
of the region's cultural and sports activities. This landmark
partnership and strategic collaboration with Cenovus as the named
sponsor marks a significant milestone in the development of
Lloydminster’s Event District, providing funding to support
construction and ensure enhanced community programming over the
next 15 years.
"I am thrilled to witness the collaboration between the City of
Lloydminster and Cenovus as they join forces to support recreation
and cultural opportunities for our community," said Lloydminster
Mayor Gerald Aalbers. "This partnership signifies the importance of
strong relationships between local government and corporate
entities. Cenovus's support will undoubtedly enhance the quality of
life for our residents and visitors.
"With the Cenovus Energy Hub as our flagship facility, we are
poised to become a hub for national events, attracting visitors and
showcasing the vibrancy and potential of Lloydminster on a national
stage."
The collaboration between the City of Lloydminster and Cenovus
sets the stage for a dynamic and prosperous future. With the
Cenovus Energy Hub as a centrepiece of the Lloydminster community,
it will serve as a catalyst for creativity, celebration and
connection, leaving a lasting impact on residents and visitors
alike.
Construction of the new facility is slated to begin later this
year and is anticipated to be operational by winter 2025. In April
2023, the Government of Canada and the Province of Saskatchewan
announced joint funding of $33 million to support the project.
