$4M Sponsorship Agreement Secures Naming Rights for Miramichi Wellness Multiplex

City of Miramichi Mayor Adam Lordon and Arbec Forest Products Inc. General Manager Adam Stone sign the long-term Naming Rights agreement in principle for the Miramichi Wellness Multiplex.

The City of Miramichi is proud to announce that a long-term Naming Rights agreement in principle has been secured for the Miramichi Wellness Multiplex.

Arbec Forest Products Inc. will pay $4 million to the City’s fundraising Campaign to have naming rights for the building, the arena and the turf soccer field on King Street for the next 25 years.

The name for the building and arena has yet to be determined.

(Watch the announcement here.)

The Sponsorship Agreement pertains to the name only and not the ownership of the physical facility or the operation of such facility.

The Sponsorship Agreement will be ratified by Miramichi City Council at an upcoming meeting.  

The City of Miramichi launched a fundraising campaign in 2024 with a goal to raise $5 million for the Multiplex. A fundraising committee, working DCG Philanthropic Services , have now increased that goal due to this significant contribution.

If anyone is interested in donating to this fundraising campaign for the Multiplex project, they can contact Sandra Gauger at the City of Miramichi.
