Calgary Construction Association Welcomes Announcement of New Event Centre Agreement Between City of Calgary, Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation, Government of Alberta, and Calgary Stampede

Calgary, Alberta – The Calgary Construction Association is thrilled to welcome the announcement of a new event centre agreement in Calgary. This exciting new development will not only enhance the entertainment options in the area but also provide significant economic benefits for the construction industry through jobs and follow-on investment in the Rivers’ District.

The construction industry is poised to play a major role in bringing this new facility to life, and we are proud to support this project. Our Association is committed to working closely with all stakeholders as an advisor to ensure that this project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest level of quality.

The new event centre will serve as a hub for sports and entertainment, attracting major events and acts to the region. This will not only provide a boost to the local economy but also create jobs and opportunities for businesses in the area.

Our members are excited about the opportunity to work on such a high-profile project and showcase the skills and expertise of our industry. We look forward to working with the developers, contractors, and other stakeholders to make this project a success.

As an association, we are committed to promoting the construction industry and supporting the growth of our communities. This new event centre is a prime example of how construction can play a vital role in creating economic growth and enhancing the quality of life for Calgarians.

We would like to extend our congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this project to fruition, and we look forward to seeing the new event centre become a centerpiece of the community now – and in the Calgary of the future.
