Work on the roof at Scotia Place is now underway.
“The roof is officially going up as the building begins to close in. The first of four mega trusses is now in place, marking a huge step forward made possible by months of planning and teamwork,” Scotia Place shared on social media March 27.
According to the update, the roof should be closed in by late summer.

The arena development project remains on schedule for completion by summer 2027.
Scotia Place will feature a 1,000-seat community arena, year-round food options, public plazas and meeting areas, and The Calgary Flames Store in addition to concerts and major sporting events that Airdronians will be able to enjoy.
Also, according to the City of Calgary, “Scotia Place will have quiet respite spaces designed to reduce anxiety, stress or sensory overload. These spaces provide a calming, restorative space during large events that can be noisy and overstimulating.”
To make room for more than 41,000 cubic meters of concrete (enough to fill 24 hockey rinks one meter deep), 9,000 metric tons of rebar (the weight of 1,500 elephants), and more than 4,450 kilometres of wire (roughly the distance of a round-trip ticket from Calgary to Chicago), Scotia Place will have removed more than 308,000 cubic meters of dirt, or 123 Olympic swimming pools, once it is finished.
