Sponsorship and Advertising
Sponsorships, donations, and advertising revenue all help Oakville's Recreation and Culture department to deliver services and host special events for the community.
Businesses, groups and individuals can provide support through the Community Partnerships Program and naming opportunities (special events or at Sixteen Mile Sports Complex). Advertising options include arena boards and digital signs.
Connecting communities.
Our facilities play a valuable role in connecting communities. Facility advertising is a popular and unique way to reach thousands of people per year. We welcome more than 3 million visitors to our centres annually for lessons, camps, leagues, tournaments, events, and more!

The Recreation and Culture department is pleased to offer CORE members special rates to advertise on arena boards and digital screens in our facilities.

The 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 generous support from the community:
- Fee assistance for children and youth to participate in recreational programs
- Special events such as the Oakville Santa Claus Parade, Community Spirit Awards, and Family Day
- Enhanced programming at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts, including some free and pay-what-you-can performances.
