Sponsor a Public Skate or Swim

Local businesses are invited to sponsor public skates (November 1 – March 31) and year-round public swims. Sponsorships are a great way to support community recreation while increasing your organization’s visibility. Connect with local families, support community recreation, and showcase your brand through sponsorship opportunities. As a sponsor of a public skate or swim, your business will receive a high visibility promotional package designed to boost your reach and community presence. 

A minimum of two weeks’ notice is required to reserve a sponsorship date for both public skates and public swims. All applications are reviewed in accordance with City of Guelph policies and guidelines. The City reserves the right to decline sponsorship requests that do not meet these standards. Learn more about the City of Guelph Advertising Acceptability Policy.
