Cape Breton’s First Solar Powered Sports & Cultural Complex for Youth

There’s no better feeling than being part of something that can truly change lives… forever.

Tomorrow's Legend’s mission is to empower youth through sport and culture. As part of that mission, we set out not only to highlight the challenges our Cape Breton youth are facing when it comes to organized sports, but also to do something about those challenges.

In 2020, our organization launched an initiative to establish a community sports complex. By meeting with hundreds of community stakeholders we uncovered two major obstacles that are in the way of youth sporting achievements - lack of facilities and cost of playing,

We came up with a new and innovative way to deliver consistent quality sports activities - The implementation of green energy that is great for the environment and lowers operational costs, thereby reducing financial barriers for kids.

By adopting the very latest technologies in solar systems and smart lighting as well as creating proprietary software for the automation of building operations, Legends Arena has been born!

Legends Arena will be the first of its kind in our region. By harnessing green energy, the facility will not only have a positive impact on the environment but will make organized sports affordable by reducing the significant costs associated with running large arenas. This opens the doors to more kids being able to play while making a strong commitment to having a sustainable community facility for many years to come.

Legends Arena is a four and a half million-dollar project and we are well on our way to meeting our financial goals. With a 2.1 million dollar contribution from the Government of Canada and Cape Breton Regional Municipality transferring the former Centennial Arena to our organization, the arena is close to becoming a reality. However, we do need your help to reach the finish line – and - we have exciting sponsorship opportunities that will promote you as a community leader making a monumental impact on the lives of so many.

Legends Arena will be truly unique space with the very latest in solar technology, configurable LED lighting, and smart devices for keeping our athletes safe while participating in sports – and not to mention the spectacular courts for basketball, volleyball, pickleball and a host of other indoor activities.

Its cultural exhibits will enable visitors to immerse themselves in the island's rich and diverse culture, not only allowing them to feel it but to celebrate it. An interactive exhibit will be on full time display in the foyer to enrich the visitor experience by showcasing our youth in sports and promoting the great work of our sponsors.
