Community values align as Lloydminster & District Co-op joins Cenovus Energy Hub development

Lloydminster, AB/SK – The City of Lloydminster is thrilled to announce a 10-year partnership with the Lloydminster & District Co-op, cementing the future of the community arena at the Cenovus Energy Hub. 

The facility, now proudly named the Co-op Community Arena, seamlessly aligns with both organizations’ values and aspirations for sustainable growth while symbolizing the co-operation between local businesses and the municipality. Furthermore, the partnership will bolster local initiatives while providing additional resources for community programming and events, youth sports and recreational activities.

The City and the Co-op made the announcement at an ACAC female hockey matchup between the Lakeland Rustlers and the SAIT Trojans at the Russ Robertson Arena on Friday, February 2, 2024.
