OLG Niagara Falls Entertainment Centre – Electrical Systems Built for a World‑Class Venue

A Modern Entertainment Landmark in the Heart of Niagara Falls

Located steps from one of Canada’s most iconic destinations, the OLG Niagara Falls Entertainment Centre stands as a state‑of‑the‑art venue designed to elevate the region’s live performance experience. With 5,000 seats—each positioned no more than 150 feet from the stage—the facility was engineered to bring audiences closer to the action while supporting the technical demands of world‑class productions.

Procon played a central role in bringing this ambitious project to life, delivering a full suite of electrical and low‑voltage systems that support the venue’s performance, safety, and operational reliability. The project required precision, coordination, and adaptability, especially given the tight construction envelope and accelerated timelines. Meeting these challenges head‑on, Procon’s team ensured every system was installed to the highest standard, ready to support the venue’s opening in February 2020.

Electrical Expertise for a High‑Performance Venue

As the electrical contractor, Procon provided comprehensive services across several critical areas:

• Lighting Distribution: The team installed advanced lighting infrastructure capable of supporting both everyday facility operations and the dynamic demands of live entertainment. This included power distribution for stage lighting, architectural lighting, and audience‑area illumination.

• Fire Alarm Systems: A robust, fully integrated fire alarm system was implemented to ensure rapid detection, clear communication, and reliable emergency response throughout the multi‑level facility.

• Security and Access Control: Procon delivered modern security and access control systems designed to protect staff, performers, and guests. These systems integrate seamlessly with the venue’s operational workflows, supporting both safety and crowd management.

Delivering Under Tight Constraints

The project’s location within Niagara’s bustling tourism district presented unique logistical challenges. With limited space for staging materials and equipment, Procon’s team coordinated closely with other trades to maintain efficiency and meet the client’s deadlines. Their ability to adapt, plan, and execute with precision was essential to the project’s success.

A Venue Built for the Future

Today, the OLG Niagara Falls Entertainment Centre stands as a premier destination for concerts, comedy, and live events. Procon is proud to have contributed to a facility that enhances the cultural and entertainment landscape of Niagara Falls.
