Security upgrades are taking place at the Keystone Centre in Brandon.

The Keystone Centre has replaced the facility wide surveillance system, improving facility, guest, and staff security.

“The upgrade and replacement of the facility’s aging surveillance system is a long anticipated improvement,” says Jeff Schumacher, Keystone Centre CEO & general manager. “It’s not only an improvement that will increase the safety of our patrons, staff, and partners, but one that will also enable us to provide a higher level of confidence to our clients holding multi-day events here at the facility, where equipment may be on-site during hours of lower staff presence.”

The Keystone Centre has received partial funding through the Brandon Area Community Foundation to assist with the upgrade, and replacement of the facility’s aging surveillance system. The system will have coverage in Westoba Place, the Westoba Credit Union Agricultural Centre of Excellence, the facility’s expansive outdoor grounds, and all other key areas.

Summus Inc., a Westman-based security contractor, headquartered in Douglas, MB, secured the rights to the project after a competitive tendering process.

Installation of the brand new, state-of-the-art system is currently underway, with more than 90% of the project completed, and the expectation that the full installation will be finished by the beginning of the upcoming events season.
