A new naming sponsor has agreed to a multi-year partnership supporting the waterslide at the incoming YCE Multiplex.
Yellowhead County and the Town of Edson say Ranger Oilfield is the newest partner of the facility.
Officials say the agreement reflects a shared commitment to supporting sustainable local infrastructure and fostering healthy, active communities. The sponsorship will support programming, equipment and the long-term accessibility of the facility, the town and county comment.
“We’re pleased to see that we now have both a major multinational company and locally owned and operated businesses seeing the value of ongoing investment into what will be an amazing facility,” say Yellowhead County Mayor Wade Williams and Town of Edson Mayor Kevin Zahara in a joint statement. “This sponsorship shows great community support, and we look forward to working with Ranger and all of our partners to bring this facility to life.”
Russell Brown, president of Ranger Oilfield, says his team has worked to build a thriving business in the community since 2012.
“Our families and friends will be using this amazing new facility, and we wanted Ranger to be part of this in a meaningful way,” he comments.
The official opening of the facility is expected in late spring 2027, once the new aquatics centre, gymnasium and arena are complete.
