The mission of the Keystone Centre is to enhance the lives of Westman residents through providing a safe, family-friendly, multi-functional, full-service facility for use in a wide range of events, meetings, entertainment, agricultural and recreational activities throughout all seasons, accessible to everyone in the community we serve. The Keystone Centre services a trading area of 180,000 people and sees over 1.2 million visitors every year. The Keystone Centre is a significant contributor to the quality of life in Westman and plays a large role in the area of social and economic impact for the community. (A recent study concluded that the Keystone Centre generates more than $62m per year in economic impact through events held in our facility.) Nowhere else in Canada will you find a community centre with Royal-worthy multi-day agricultural and entertainment fairs, local to international agricultural championships, a full season of home games for the local WHL team, two additional ice rinks that serve upwards of 600 bookings a year for youth, recreational and educational ice sports, an 8-sheet curling rink with regular leagues and tournaments, musical concerts featuring big name artists like Kiss and ZZ Top for upwards of 5000 people, and conventions/trade shows and meetings for businesses and associations from intimate boardroom bookings to thousands for national retreats – all under one, more than half a million square foot, roof.
