OSHAWA, ONT. – The City of Oshawa has now issued the tender for a $50 million project to modernize the Tribute Communities Centre (TCC).
According to a release, a rendering showcasing a first concept of the envisioned front entrance and enhanced streetscape marks a significant milestone in the transformation of the sports and entertainment venue.
First opened in November 2006, the TCC will undergo extensive upgrades, including:
- an expansion of the main entrance;
- enhanced fan experience features and interior renovations;
- updated seating for a minimum capacity of 7,000;
- a refreshed concession area; and
- improved player facilities.
In April 2025, the city announced the $50-million investment along with 30‑year partnerships with the Oshawa Generals Hockey Club of the Oshawa Hockey League and Oak View Group (OVG).
As operators of the city-owned TCC, OVG is investing in the facility infrastructure, including a modernized concession area.
Funding will also be sourced through the new agreements with the Oshawa Generals and OVG, the Municipal Accommodation Tax and additional seat revenue.
A key element of the modernization is the relocation of the Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame to a high‑visibility location at the front of the TCC, the release adds. The redesigned space will provide 24/7 public exposure to its displays.
Construction is anticipated to be phased over two years to maintain facility operations while work is underway.
