Milestone Unlocked: Calgary's BMO Event Centre Reaches Substantial Completion

Written by Kevin Padillo

Our team wants to congratulate the Calgary Stampede for achieving substantial completion on their project located at the BMO Event Centre. On March 13th 2024, the dignitaries from the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation hosted a ceremony handing over the keys to the owners, the Calgary Stampede. Present were the officials engaged in the project, including the construction managers, consultants, managers, esteemed guests and city officials including Mayor Gondek.

The expansion of the current building extends the square footage to 565,000 across new space and three levels. Doubling the size of the previous rentable area and making the center the largest convention space in Western Canada. The new space will include 3 ballrooms, 38 meeting rooms and larger exhibition space.
