RG Properties is pleased to announce that Save-On-Foods, a division of the B.C. based grocery chain, the Overwaitea Food Group, has secured the title sponsorship of the 7,000 seat arena rising from the ground at Caledonia and Blanshard Streets. The replacement facility for the venerable Victoria Memorial Arena will now be known as Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre.

Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, the new home of the ECHL’s Victoria Salmon Kings, world-class concerts, family shows, trade shows and 2,000 annual hours of community use will be the 3rd largest venue in British Columbia and a regional centre for entertainment on Vancouver Island.

Graham Lee, President of RG Properties is ecstatic about the new relationship. “The Overwaitea Food Group and its Save-On-Foods Division in particular is well known throughout Western Canada for its commitment to the communities they serve. This investment shows Victorians that this building will not only be a premier entertainment facility, but also a centre for community activities in the Greater Victoria area.”

Save-On-Foods operates two locations in Greater Victoria and is part of the Jim Pattison Group (JPG) of Companies.

“The Jim Pattison Group is one of the must successful organizations in B.C. and Canada. Having them on board, through a growing division like Save-On-Foods, is a sign to all of Victoria that this building is truly going to be a premier facility,” added Lee.

The agreement with Save-On-Foods is a 10-year agreement and includes various signage provisions in addition to the title sponsorship of the facility.
