The Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC) is a Crown Corporation of the Province of Ontario and exists to maximize benefits to the people of Canada, Ontario and Toronto
The creation of MTCC was a joint venture between the Federal Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario and the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, and its construction was intended to help increase tourism revenue to the City and Province.
MTCC’s North Building opened for business on October 2, 1984 with the formal dedication conducted by her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Due to increasing demand for meeting space in the Toronto area, MTCC expanded over and under adjacent railway tracks. The South Building became a reality thirteen years later and was officially opened by His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh on June 29, 1997.
