One of St. Boniface's two 1967 Centennial arenas

Bertrand Arena went up in 1967 as St. Boniface Centennial Arena, one of two arenas St. Boniface built that year in honour of Canada's Centennial. Its twin, Maginot Arena, was erected at the same time to a matching design. The Centennial name has since been dropped, and the arena now carries the name of the street it stands on, Bertrand Street.

The building is a modernist design from the Centennial year: a flat-roofed rectangular section holds the entry and the dressing rooms, and a peaked wing houses the ice. Projecting trusses along that wing expose the framework that holds up the roof. Inside, the ice measures 85 by 185 feet, the stands hold 570, and four change rooms serve the single sheet.

The City of Winnipeg operates Bertrand Arena today as one of its municipal arenas. The city's skating lessons are taught here, and the arena is one of the venues for its public skating program.
