Meeting and convention facilities

Looking for a place to hold a regional meeting? Provincial or regional convention? Sports event? National conference?

Looking for "small town" friendliness and prices, while still enjoying the amenities of a larger city? You'll be pleasantly surprised at what Yorkton has to offer, and at the range of events, from small to large, that we've hosted in the past.

Yorkton is known for its hospitality, friendly people and good food, and thousands of first-time visitors who have attended meetings and conventions here have eagerly looked forward to return visits. Because we're smaller than the large cities, you will find a high level of co-operation here when it comes to planning and hosting your meeting or convention. And while we can't make all your local arrangements for you, we can certainly help!

We will help you set up a partners' program, to provide tours and activities for those accompanying your meeting participants. We can help you access equipment and convention aids. We will provide you with a list of our members and advise them of your event, which will break the ice when you approach them for goods and services you may require. In short, we're here to help, because when you come to Yorkton, you are special to us, and to the business community.
