Local construction company Trisan Construction purchased the naming rights to the arena for 50 years.

The building was inaugurated on June 27, 2011 by township mayor Steve Pellegrini, the township's six councillors (Bill Cober, Avia Eek, Peter Grandilli, Cleve Mortelliti, Linda Pabst, and Debbie Schaefer), York Regional Council chairman Bill Fisch, provincial representative Helena Jaczek, and federal representative Paul Calandra.

Construction

Construction was done by Maple Reinders Construction Ltd, and the facility has been built in accordance with York’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver standard. [2] Sustainable design features include water-efficient landscaping that will reduce the need for water by 50 per cent; innovative wastewater technologies reducing potable water for sewage conveyance by 50 per cent by capturing rainwater to flush toilets; and a roof designed to keep the building cooler in warm weather. As well, about half of the construction waste was diverted from landfill.

The approximately CA$ 14.9 million cost of the building was funded by CA$ 4,720,000 by each of the municipal government of King, the provincial government of Ontario, and the federal government of Canada, [3] and also received CA$ 700,000 from the regional government of York Region. [2] The centre is also attempting to raise CA$ 400,000 from community businesses and residents. [3]
