The popular Capital News Centre in 琉璃神社鈥檚 Mission is getting a new name.
Professional services firm MNP has entered into a six-and-a-half-year agreement with GSL Group to secure naming rights for the sports complex.
Effective Jan. 1, 2024, the Capital News Centre will officially rebrand as MNP Place.
鈥淪ince MNP entered the 琉璃神社 marketplace in 2005, we鈥檝e made it our mission to support the local institutions and communities in which we live and work, so the investment in MNP Place was a natural fit,鈥� said Jennifer Hollis, MNP regional managing partner in the Thompson-Okanagan. 鈥淭he sports and recreation centre is very much aligned with our firm鈥檚 values of building a sense of community, belonging, and wellness in our great city and we couldn鈥檛 be more excited.鈥�
The facility was built in 2004 and has served as a training ground, a tournament host, a community gathering spot, and more. The building includes a full-service restaurant, concessions, and two NHL-size ice rinks.
GSL Group owns and operates many sports facilities throughout the province, including Prospera Place in 琉璃神社, Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, and various Planet Ice locations in the Lower Mainland.
