Scotia Place Experience
Scotia Place
More than an event centre, Scotia Place continues the momentum underway to develop Calgary’s emerging Culture + Entertainment District, one of our newest downtown communities. It is a multi-purpose, industry leading, sports and entertainment venue that provides a gathering place for all and will benefit Calgarians and visitors to Calgary for the next four decades.
From concerts to sports events to cultural festivals, the design offers a versatile space that can adapt to many different activities, ensuring it remains relevant and vibrant through Calgary’s growth. It is the next step in Calgary’s renewal as a global city and international destination, helping to support the downtown’s revitalization and recovery.
