Have you enjoyed seeing the cars around town?
We love seeing your cars out too!

This is Ky-Lee here, I own the building, this is my 65 mustang. We had the 65 mustang down here Saturday, we had a friends 67 fastback down here late last week.

We have had opportunities to stop and chat cars with so many of you around town! I think the car shows we will host at the event centre will be thoroughly enjoyed!

Our car lifestyle and event brand is TriXster

08/01/2021

Hey everyone!

We have teamed up with a new car culture brand, to lean heavier into the car events we had been planning with support from Sparks and SD&G County.

The building has some more renovation needs to be able to accommodate what we have planned. Starting an event centre that was primarily food focused, being a new business without covid support, purchasing the building just days before covid happened, the labour shortage, and capacity restrictions and forced closures, has been quite the stop and go challenge. We are exhausted 😰

But, we are on to bigger and better things within these stone walls, we are getting more centred with what feels exciting; if you like car culture, follow TriXster to see some of the cars that will fill in person and online car shows, learn some restoration, renovation, and design TriX as they go.

Next spring we plan to host the events but for now are working away on plans and seeing how winter plays out with regulations. For now, here are some pictures of the collection and friends cars that might just be droppin by!

We are entertaining the idea of some winter events, maybe an NYE party, maybe some comedy, maybe hosting your event. We hope Ontario opens consistently so we can truly plan and be able to see things through. Thanks for your support and interest over the last year!

07/16/2021

At this time, we are closed. Thank you for your inquiries!

The original plan when purchasing just days before the first lockdown in 2020 was an event centre. We are now watching eagerly to see how events will be permitted.

A bistro, while we gave it a shot and the feedback was great, it was not financially feasible during lockdown as a new business, and due to limited availability of staff. We do not have plans to open as a fulltime bistro at this time but more so, considering around events.

We have some potentially interesting partnerships in the works, and we will let you know soon what is decided.

Thank you for your interest in Oneida Grand! We will keep you updated in the coming weeks.

Enjoy the weather! 🌟
