From Concept to Reality

We were so humbled and proud to provide our services and expertise for the realization of the Pat Burns Arena Granite Panels Memorial, in our hometown of Stanstead, Quebec, Canada. Ten months after his death, the Pat Burns Arena was officially opened last year in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, honoring this legendary hockey coach. PG was contracted to provide a custom seating plan chart, as donors purchased lifelong family seats, as part of the Arena’s fundraising efforts. PG was also responsible for all of the directional signage on the interiors and exterior of the building.

Multiple sizes of PG Certified® Black Granite panel

The 8 million dollars, 40,000 sq/ft state of the art arena seats more than 350 spectators and will also serve as an important community gathering place. Searching for a unique method to honor the legend who inspired this project, the facility features a 5 1/2 foot by 10 1/2 foot PGHD© laser-etched portrait of Pat Burns on PGCertified© black granite panels. The granite canvas was created using custom-sized granite panels that were seamlessly installed onto the building’s entry.

Additionally, indoor directional signage was designed and modified by us to suit the design of the Arena. Then, the Arena sold sponsorship of the different meeting rooms. In order to help in further funding of this project, a seating chart of sponsors was created to showcase a beautiful layout of the different levels of sponsorship available.
