Leamington recreational complex undergoes name change

Leamington's recreational complex has a new name. Formerly the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex, it will now be called the Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre.

The Municipality of Leamington has approved the sponsorship and naming rights for the greenhouse grower Tuesday night.

"With the support of Nature Fresh Farms, we will be able to enhance recreational offerings for the community in a facility they'll be excited to use," said Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald.

The complex first opened in 1985 and has a 25-metre swimming pool, two ice rinks, a gymnasium, a fitness studio, training rooms, and meeting rooms.

Nature Fresh Farms has over 200 acres of greenhouse facilities and has been in the community for 20 years. It is one of the largest independent, vertically integrated greenhouse farms in North America. It will help support programs and activities offered at the recreation complex.

"Our partnership with the recreational complex fits perfectly with our ideals of promoting a healthy lifestyle and nutritional eating," said Nature Fresh Farms Vice President John Ketler.
