Scotia Place has saved over $12,000 and over 500 hours with EZI BACKR
Scotia Place is the new arena going up in Calgary. It replaces the Saddledome as home for the Calgary Flames.
This is a big one — over $1.2 billion, with 18,400 seats for hockey. It opens fall 2027, in time for the next NHL season.
The schedule is tight and there’s no room to slip. Cana is the GC keeping the crew moving and on track.
On a job this size, small delays add up fast, and that’s where pre-cut backing pays off. EZI BACKR shows up ready to install, so the crew keeps building instead of cutting.
What they ordered
9,216 pieces of 3/4″ Standard EZI BACKR so far, with more pallets on the way as the build rolls on.
Every piece is cut at the factory, so there’s no measuring or cutting on site and no offcuts piling up in the bin. The crew grabs it and installs it.
The savings
So far this order has saved over $12,000 and over 500 hours.
That’s labour the crew didn’t spend cutting, waste that never hit the bin, and margin Cana kept on the job.
Your crew leaves on time.
And that’s just the count so far — more pallets are on order, so the savings keep climbing.
Why EZI BACKR

Better margins. Time saved and waste cut go straight to the bottom line.
Steady supply, on time. Cutting equipment built for volume, so orders land when needed.
