Werklund Centre Seeks Major Funding Boost | Calgary News

Calgary’s Werklund Centre is set for a massive $345 million transformation, with the city’s contribution alone jumping from $63 million to $125 million to modernize the existing building. The plan also includes a new 170,000-square-foot facility next door and a revitalized Olympic Plaza, all aimed at keeping Calgary’s arts scene vibrant and adaptable. The city’s mayor is open to the funding increase—but only if provincial, federal, and private partners step up. With $103 million already pledged by the province and a matching federal ask, construction could start in early 2029 if all funding is secured by 2026.
