Lépine Apartments on board as sponsor for Renfrew County 2023 Ontario Winter Games
With 55 days to go until the opening ceremonies of the Renfrew County 2023 Ontario Winter Games, sponsors continue to step up to ensure that the County of Renfrew can host the best games ever.
The latest business to get involved is Lépine Apartments, which is making a contribution of $50,000 towards the Games. On December 9, the cheque was officially presented to Renfrew County Warden Peter Emon, Chair of the Games Organizing Committee, and Games Manager Cindy Burwell, at the Lépine Lodge in Renfrew. During the event, Lépine was introduced as a County Wide Sponsor for the Games and Presenting Partner for the VIP tent and stage for the Opening Ceremonies, which are taking place at Ma-te-Way Park in Renfrew both weekends.
The Ontario Winter Games are coming to Renfrew County from February 2-5 and February 9-12, 2023. The Games will feature 2,200 young athletes competing in 24 different sports at venues across Renfrew County and into Kanata. The event will be run with the help of more than 750 volunteers.
Warden Emon was thrilled to accept this sponsorship and welcome Lépine on board as a major partner of the Games.
“Communities are built by people investing time and energy in events close to home, we are very fortunate the Lépine family has stepped up to invest in our community, which is also their community,” he said.
The Ontario Winter Games will provide an opportunity for the County of Renfrew to demonstrate what a special place it is to visitors from across Ontario.
“As a partner, the Lépine family values and recognizes the importance of diversity and inclusivity when it comes to the Games and the community,” Warden Emon added.
The Lépine family sees this sponsorship as a way of building a solid foundation for the future. Lépine is sponsoring the 2023 Ontario Winter Games to support the opportunity these Games create for our youth to see beyond themselves and set their sights on new horizons across Canada.
“Just as buildings crumble and fall when they lack a strong foundation, so do our communities when we do not invest in the spirit of our children,” said Francis Lépine, president and owner of Lépine Apartments. “As our children exercise their physical gifts and compete in the disciplines of sports and teamwork, they will understand themselves better and their fellow Canadians. When our children strive for their personal best alongside their peers, they gain resolve to achieve excellence together and become the community builders of the future.”
The 2023 Ontario Winter Games will allow Renfrew County residents to celebrate together as one big community and display community pride and spirit. The added benefits are boosting the local economy while inspiring and motivating youth to get involved in sport.
