The Centennial Civic Centre has proudly served the families of Lloydminster since 1967 and the city is now looking to capture the history of the old barn.

“The city’s looking for pictures, memorabilia, things like that to help share that story,” said Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Aalbers.
With the upcoming opening of Lloydminster’s brand-new arena, the Cenovus Energy Hub, the Civic Centre will be permanently decommissioned and eventually demolished.
In hopes of honouring the Civics’ tenured history, the city is looking to residents to bring forward any items that show off the Civic in its heyday.
“There’s people that have been here for longer that can share stories and history from some of the famous acts that appeared in the Civic Centre,” said Aalbers.
“There’s so many great stories and so many great pictures to share that people can reminisce about over time and share with the younger generation.”
The city is hosting a cabaret and concert as a final celebration in the rink. The event takes place Sept. 27 with supper, presentations and live entertainment by Brayden King and the Hillside Outlaws.
