RRC and Pepsi Celebrate Expanded Partnership with Pepsi Turf Field House
(Fort McMurray, AB – August 22, 2025) The Regional Recreation Corporation of Wood Buffalo (RRC) is proud to announce the renaming of one of MacDonald Island Park’s most active indoor venues: the Pepsi Turf Field House.
This renaming marks the beginning of a new three-year agreement between RRC and long-time partner PepsiCo Beverages Canada. For nearly 15 years, Pepsi has supported recreation in the region through the RRC and this expanded partnership deepens that legacy.
“We’re thrilled to continue growing our partnership with Pepsi and celebrate their ongoing commitment to our community,” said Graig Walsh, Chief Executive Officer of the RRC. “The Pepsi Turf Field House is more than a name - it’s a reflection of the energy, movement and opportunity that this space brings to the region.”
The Pepsi Turf Field House is used daily for indoor activities and programs like soccer, archery tag, team-building, and more. It offers a secure, dynamic environment where outdoor-style play can thrive indoors, regardless of the weather. It’s a space where residents of all ages can run, jump, and play, building skills, memories, and connections along the way. The space is often activated for community events like Canada Day and The Craze.
Pepsi also provides support for MIP Summer Camps, the Miskanaw Golf Club, and recreation opportunities for youth across the region.
"Pepsi is truly excited to continue the partnership with the RRC and looking forward to expanding the support to RRC programs. Together we can build a meaningful and lasting presence in the Wood Buffalo Community," said Norm Smyth, Pepsi Account Manager.
A portion of the sponsorship directly supports the WB Kids Program, which provides financial assistance to ensure that all children and youth in the region can access sport, recreation, and cultural programs regardless of household income.
With this announcement, the RRC and PepsiCo Beverages Canada celebrate a partnership built on shared values: community, connection, and creating opportunity. Together, they’re fuelling the future of fun in Wood Buffalo!
