The Metro Toronto Convention Centre is located on Front Street West in the centre of downtown Toronto. It is a short distance away on foot from the waterfront. It is the premier trade exhibition and convention facility in Canada. It was constructed in 1984 and has more than 600,000 square feet of meeting and exhibition space. Bregman +Hamann Architects designed a subterranean addition to the south side in 1997 to expand the convention space to its current size.
Today, the North Building of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre is home to the world-class John Basset Theatre, which can accommodate 1,330 visitors at once. It is a self-contained area with its own discrete lobby and Front Street entrance. Additionally, it has adjoining spaces that are ideal for pre- and post-performance receptions. Showtech Productions is a subsidiary of the John Basset Theatre that assists customers with their staging requirements.
