Fan for Life

The Town of Arnprior is excited to kick off the Nick Smith Centre Arena Revitalization Project that will see a complete rehabilitation of both the Bert Hall Arena and the Glenn Arthur Arena. Starting in February and set to re-open in October of 2025, this project has been designed to minimize the impact on our users where possible

This revitalization project achieves several goals to meet outstanding community needs including replacing aging infrastructure, accessible upgrades, additional community meeting spaces, a heated mezzanine viewing area and equitable storage space.

Increasing spectator comfort is also a large part of this project as seen in the expanded bleacher seating on the west side of Bert Hall Arena and the transformation to individual and customizable bench seating and you could be part of this project. Your name, logo, message or artwork could become permanently printed onto a seat on the arena spectator stands for a one time fee. Text and images are limited to white printed on the new green seats.

Want to make your mark permanently in the Nick Smith Centre? Sponsor a seat with your name or artwork and have your stamp on this new facility. Become a Fan for Life.
