The City has reached an agreement in principle with partners to revitalize Downtown Calgary by developing the Rivers District anchored by a new Event Centre. 

The City of Calgary, Government of Alberta, Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation (CSEC), and the Calgary Stampede are investing in Calgary by supporting sports, entertainment and community for years to come. 

This project includes:

  • A community rink available for public booking
  • Indoor and outdoor gathering spaces
  • Transportation and public realm improvements

This annoucement will fulfil a longstanding vision we've had for Downtown Calgary and for our entire city. We have four partners committed to building a community hub that will serve us for generations to come.

This project is about more than just a single building. It's fulfilling our vision of a home for culture, sports and entertainment. It's a vital investment in our city's future prosperity, vibrancy and growth.
