Sponsorship & Advertising
Community and Corporate Partnerships program
The 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 generous support from the community:
- Fee assistance for children and youth to participate in recreational programs
- Youth Centre facility enhancement
- 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.

Who can purchase ad space?
Advertisers must be Oakville-based and recreation, leisure or education oriented, or a Town of Oakville Community and Corporate Partner. Inclusion of corporate advertising is at the discretion of the Town of Oakville.
If you are you a C.O.R.E. member wishing to advertise, or want more information about C.O.R.E., please visit the C.O.R.E. page.
Submitting an ad
Ads are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until advertising space is full. Space is limited and submitting before the deadline date does not ensure ad placement. The town holds the right to judge acceptability of ad subject and quality.
Advertising submissions will not be accepted until payment and acceptable electronic artwork have been received. Please note that electronic proofs and advertising receipts are sent by request only.
