    • Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum says he is going to build a 60,000 person stadium

    Surrey, B.C. - The City of Surrey has begun construction of a new destination sports complex in Cloverdale. Once complete, this new arena will increase Surrey’s overall ice capacity, while accommodating the need for an additional ice arena in Cloverdale.

    Apart from this, the mayor announced at the groundbreaking ceremony that he will be building the largest stadium in Canada.

    “Part of our commitments that we’re going to say as part of our Safe Surrey Coalition is we are going to build a 60,000-person arena in Surrey,” McCallum told media at the site of a new sports complex groundbreaking ceremony. 

    “I am thrilled to see construction get underway on the Cloverdale Sport & Ice Complex,” said Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum. “This new arena will not only provide additional ice to meet the needs of Cloverdale residents but will serve both city-wide and sport destination needs. Like all the Surrey Invests Capital Projects, this facility has been designed to high standards including important sustainability and accessibility features.”

    The Cloverdale Sport & Ice Complex will include two National Hockey League sized arena sheets of ice, seating for 400 spectators, multi-purpose and community rooms, officials’ rooms, change rooms, and other amenities. The Project will offer various programs including ice hockey, figure skating, public lessons, skating sessions and dry-floor summer use for sports, such as lacrosse and ball hockey.

    The Cloverdale Sport & Ice Complex will be located at 6336 177B Street. The arena was approved in the 2021 Five-Year (2021-2025) Capital Financial Plan and is among more than 20 projects included in the ‘Surrey Invests’ Capital Plan. Learn more at surrey.ca/capital projects.

    The municipal election is set to take place on October 15th.
