The Southland Co-op Centre in Assiniboia, Saskatchewan has been dubbed by some as the crown jewel of Southern Saskatchewan.
WATCH: The Southland Co-op Centre has revitalized the small town of Assiniboia and is attracting people from all over the province to take a look.And for the town’s Recreation and Community Wellness manager, Steph Vandesype, it’s a fitting moniker.
“There’s thousands of people who walk through these doors every single week so it has done tremendous things for our community: our local businesses are booming, our restaurants, our hotels are full every single weekend, so it’s had such a huge economic impact for Assiniboia,” said Vandesype.The centre replaced the old town ice arena that was originally built in 1956, and has been a boon for the local senior hockey team.
Lessmeister, who is also on the board of directors for the centre, mentioned that the vast array of activities that the building offers comes in especially handy when they are hosting a hockey tournament on their NHL-sized rink.Vernon Panthers on prowl for 2nd B.C. High School Football Championship“There’s five tournaments in five weekends in a row, and the amenities and the things that those kids can do from the climbing wall to the golf simulator to the teen centre.
“So the goal of this rink was to keep people busy. From zero to 100, we have amenities for all ages and keeping people busy, keeping people healthy and taking care of people’s mental wellness,”Viewed
