Demolition begins for Surrey’s planned 10,000-seat City Centre Arena

Demolition has begun at 10355 King George Blvd., where the City of Surrey plans a 10,000-seat City Centre Arena. The City says crews are dismantling the former Safeway building and that demolition and site-preparation work are underway as the first construction phase begins. The planned arena is to become the future home of the Vancouver Giants and is part of the City Centre Arena and Entertainment District, which the City says will also include hotel, conference and residential components.
