McCain Foods Canada has entered into a 5-year agreement with the City of Brandon for the naming rights of the Cricket Field at the Maple Leaf Foods Sports Complex. The Cricket Field will be known as McCain Cricket Field.
“The City of Brandon is thrilled to partner with McCain Foods, a global family-based company with agricultural roots,” says Mayor Jeff Fawcett. “This partnership with McCain Foods will enable the Maple Leaf Foods Sports Complex to be a great resource to all residents in the Westman Region.”
“Investments in both the Portage la Prairie and Carberry McCain facilities are testaments to our ongoing commitment to growers, employees and the communities in which we operate in Manitoba, and we are thrilled to extend to resources locally that will impact all residents in the region, said Diego Fernandes, Plant Manager.
Located at First Street and Veterans Way, the Maple Leaf Foods Sports Complex will include a FIFA sized soccer field, up to eight 11 v 11 soccer fields, one dedicated 9 v 9 soccer field, a cricket pitch, a clubhouse with changerooms and washrooms, and 3.6 km of pathways. With investments from the governments of Canada and Manitoba, the City of Brandon is on track to see the project completed by early 2025.
The City says “several sponsorship opportunities remain for various fields and amenities. Businesses or residents that are interested in sponsorship opportunities can contact City of Brandon Parks & Recreation Services at parks@brandon.ca or 204-729-2148.”
