Updates
May 2025
The arena facility roof structure and roofing are being installed. The structure for the floor to support the two dry floor arenas above two other ice sheets is underway. Most of the vertical concrete structure is complete, but there is still another major steel structure to be added above the dry floor arenas on the east side of the project. Rooms are taking shape throughout the complex with mechanical and electrical infrastructure being built on all floors.
February 2025
Wall structures are going up at the site as the arenas building takes shape. Walls around the main arena at the west end of the project will eventually surround a rink with 1,000 seats, as well as suites above the ice. Two other ice sheets, and two dry floors on top of the two ice sheets, will each have about 350 seats.
December 2024
Construction continues to progress very well, and continues to be on schedule for a September 2026 opening. Early in the new year, the site will begin to see the steel arrive, and the walls and roof structures will begin to be erected.
August 2024
The three new ice and two dry floor arenas approved by Township Council are taking shape at the Langley Events Centre. Crews are busy this summer with excavation work for footings, gravel prep, perimeter foundation wall construction, foundation waterproofing, under slab plumbing, and creating a suspended slab.
December 2023
Construction activities began at the site in December 2023. The artist rendering below expresses the general appearance of the new facility.
