The Highwood Memorial Centre will retain its name, at least among locals.

Wade Nelson, with the board says, to their surprise, there's been some confusion around the "Memorial" part of the name.

The sign inside the centre still has the "Memorial" included

"We actually did a couple of wedding shows, wedding fairs in Calgary and Okotoks and our manager, Sarah was actually confronted by some people because they thought she was representing a funeral home," Nelson says. "It was kind of a shock to me and most everyone on the board because we everyone on the board of course knows the reason it's called the Memorial Centre is in memorial to our veterans."

He says to entice more business from outside the town, and avoid any confusion, they'll market it as the Highwood Centre but for those in the community it will remain the Highwood Memorial Centre.
