Two new partnerships have been established between the City of Oshawa and Oshawa Community Credit Union (OCCU) that will support recreational programming for community members.
OCCU has signed a three-year agreement as Presenting Sponsor of the City’s Playground Program, valued at $45,000, as well as a five-year Naming Rights Sponsorship for the pool at Delpark Homes Centre, valued at $100,000.
“On behalf of city council and the community, we extend a tremendous thank you to the Oshawa Community Credit Union for their support in helping enhance recreation opportunities across the great City of Oshawa. These valued partnerships reflect a shared commitment to investing in an active, connected and healthy community,” said Mayor Dan Carter.
As the Playground Program’s presenting sponsor, the partnership supports the free summer playground program, that brings camp activities to neighbourhood parks (16 locations in total over the summer).
As part of the naming rights partnership, the pool at Delpark Homes Centre is now officially named the OCCU, Oshawa Community Credit Union Pool. The new name was celebrated with a free community swim on Saturday, July 4, where members of council and OCCU representatives joined community members to mark the occasion.
Through its naming rights sponsorship, OCCU has prominent on-site recognition, including decals throughout the pool area, rink board advertising across the arenas and additional signage across Delpark Homes Centre, along with hosting an annual free swim.
“We are incredibly proud to partner with the City of Oshawa to invest in the well-being and future of our local community members. OCCU operates on the fundamental belief of giving back to our community, and we believe this sponsorship initiative is a testament to our mission of shared prosperity,” said Jakob Henninger of OCCU.
Delpark Homes Centre is a recreation and community facility, featuring a leisure pool, four NHL-sized ice pads, a gymnasium, aerobics studio, fitness centre and elevated indoor walking track. The facility is also home to an Oshawa Public Libraries branch and an Oshawa Senior Community Centres location, serving residents of all ages.
