Project Overview

A landmark destination redefining Calgary’s cultural, sports, and entertainment experience.

Where Calgary Comes Alive

More than an arena, Scotia Place will be the defining sports and entertainment venue within Calgary’s Culture + Entertainment District - a destination designed to unite sports, music and community in one dynamic environment.

Scotia Place sits on land with a rich history. Today, it is still a place where people from different cultures meet, make new connections and celebrate together. Guided by the traditions of the Treaty Seven and Métis Nations, the venue honours the land and people who shaped Calgary. Architectural details, Indigenous art, and gathering spaces celebrate this connection and bring Calgary’s cultural narrative into focus.

Scotia Place represents more than a building. It’s a statement - a modern icon for a city that continues to grow, evolve and lead.
