The Credit Union Spark Centre and Legacy Park Elementary is a community partnership project between the City of Weyburn and the Southeast Cornerstone School Division.
The recreation and cultural factility will be owned and operated by the City of Weyburn and the adjacent elementary school will be owned and operated by the school division.
In early September 2020, a partnership between the City of Weyburn and the Weyburn Credit Union was secured for the naming rights to the facility. Weyburn Credit Union will contribute $1,000,000 over 20 years towards the Credit Union Spark Centre.
In late September 2020, a partnership between the City of Weyburn and MNP was announced for the indoor play and climb space, with MNP contributing $150,000 over 10 years for the naming rights and signage.
In early October 2020, the City of Weyburn approved an additional sponsorship from Whitecap Resources Inc. for a 10 year naming rights term through a financial contribution of $20,000 for one of the eight dressing rooms in the recreation and cultural facility. In January 2021, Weyburn Oilwomen Association Inc. and Viterra Inc. joined as dressing room sponsors, through 10 year naming rights terms for $20,000, respectively.
