Community and Corporate Partnerships

The Recreation and Culture department's Community and Corporate Partnerships program forms partnerships between the Town of Oakville's Recreation and Culture department and community businesses and organizations. Essential services are funded through the town; however, sponsorships, donations and advertising revenues make it possible for the town to expand its programs, services and initiatives while reducing the need for tax increases or additional user fees.

Projects and events
Local businesses, organizations, service clubs, community groups and individuals can provide support through cash contributions, in-kind services, joint promotions, and/or product donations. Below is a list of some of the initiatives that the town has provided thanks to the generous support from the community:

• Fee assistance for children and youth to participate in recreational programs.
• Youth Centre facility enhancements.
• Special events such as the Oakville Santa Claus Parade, Community Spirit Awards, Skate Across Canada Challenge and Make Your Move Family Day.
• Enhanced programming at the Oakville Centre, including some free and pay what you can performances.
• Naming opportunities are now available for the interior spaces at Sixteen Mile Sports Complex including ice surfaces, dressing rooms and multipurpose rooms.
