In what is being described as an end of an era, the Pomeroy Sports Centre in Fort St. John will be getting a new name.
It is part of city council’s plan to issue a naming rights request for a number of city owned recreation buildings.
The City of Fort St. John extended thanks to Pomeroy Lodging for more than 15 years of partnership through the naming rights of the Pomeroy Sport Centre, one of the city’s cornerstone community facilities.
“The long-standing support from Pomeroy Lodging has made a meaningful difference for our community. Their commitment to Fort St. John reflects a genuine investment in the people who live, work, and play here,” said Mayor Lilia Hansen.
City officials say they value partnerships with local and regional businesses that enhance public spaces and community services.
“Naming rights partnerships play an important role in supporting City-owned recreational assets and in helping ensure they remain welcoming, vibrant, and accessible to residents,” said the city in a media release.
Looking ahead, the City of Fort St. John said will be issuing a Naming Rights Request for Proposals to identify naming rights partners for several City-owned recreational assets.
