The Bert Hall Arena re-opened on Saturday, October 25, 2025, restoring operations to both ice surfaces at the Nick Smith Centre. Our primary goal throughout this project was to ensure our users groups would return to on-ice activities as soon as possible.
Over the past two weeks work has continued in both arenas with the installation of new doorways, spectator seating has expanded in Bert Hall Arena, new flooring has been installed, the renovated alternate change room is now complete and new scoreboards, shot clock and time of day clocks are now operational in both arenas. Minor work continues in both arenas but will not impact the overall operation of the arenas.
There remains ongoing works that will see the completion of the mezzanine, meetings rooms, storage rooms and Pro Shop. While we anticipate the Pro Shop and lower-level meeting rooms to be completed in mid-December, the remainder of the spaces are unlikely to be completed for occupancy until February 14, 2026.
Project information and updates will continue to be posted on the project website at www.Arnprior.ca/ArenaRevitalization.
We appreciate everyone's continued patience, flexibility and understanding throughout this project and we look forward to celebrating its completion in the New Year.
