    Acknowledgments The site of Exhibition Place has had a long tradition as a gathering place. Given its location on the water, these lands would have attracted Indigenous populations before recorded history. We acknowledge that the land occupied by Exhibition Place is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. Figure 1.

  • Exhibition Place Strategic Plan 2017-2019
    Exhibition Place 2017-2019 Strategic Plan Strategic Plan 2017-2019 01. Message from the Chair On behalf of the Board of Governors of Exhibition Place, and our management team, we proudly introduce the 2017-2019 Strategic Plan. This document is a product of input from business stakeholders and residents. It is intended to serve both as a roadmap to guide the organization, and as a barometer over the ensuing three years to track our targets and accomplishments of the key objectives determining the future success of Exhibition Place. Over the duration of our past Strategic Plans from 2009 to 2016, Exhibition Place has grown exponentially as have the neighbourhoods surrounding our site. We have constructed a new conference facility, Beanfield Centre; expanded BMO Field allowing the Toronto Argonauts to return to the grounds; added an NBA basketball training facility; and soon will open a 400-room convention hotel. In the last 2 years, Exhibition Place has hosted international / national special events such as 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games, NBA All-Star Festival, MLS Cup, and CFL Grey Cup. Our convention facilities continue to be the choice venue for a number of Canada's largest shows, events, and meetings. The 2017-2019 Plan introduces a vision of Exhibition Place as the "Gathering Place" for the City of Toronto and Southern Ontario. Adopting the historical notion of a "Gathering Place", the Plan acknowledges the role this waterfront site has played as an international exposition centre, a host venue for major public celebrations and events, and part of the cultural fabric of the city and its communities.
