If the community of Moosomin had to choose only one place in which to gather, the Moosomin Communiplex and Convention Centre would win, hands down. The town of Moosomin, Saskatchewan is a pioneer of hockey in Western Canada, credited with holding the first hockey game this side of Ontario, creating the first outdoor rink in all of Western Canada, and building the first (and second!) indoor rink in the nation.

But Moosomin Communiplex and Convention Centre is about more than just hockey. In addition to Canada’s favourite pastime, the athletic space also welcomes baseball, soccer, football, and pickleball teams in warmer months. The Convention Centre hosts conferences, weddings, trade fairs, and meetings all year round. In fact, as many as 70,000 people patron the space each year, none of whom could imagine their community without it.

Red River Mutual knows the value of maintaining hockey’s heritage in the city, and as such, is helping Moosomin Communiplex and Convention Centre spruce up their story by providing $25,200. The funds will be used to repaint the basement and replace the floor matting, which is required to sustain usage during winter, and for the safety of skaters.
