Encyclopedia : M : ME : MET : Metro Toronto Convention Centre
Metro Toronto Convention Centre is the largest convention centre in Canada with over 600,000 square feet, located in downtown Toronto, Ontario at 255 Front Street West.
The convention centre was completed in October 1984 and is home to the 1330 seat John Bassett Theatre, currently used for Canadian Idol.
To the east end of the complex was the former Canadian National Railways L'Hotel CN (Toronto) hotel, now the 586 room InterContinental Toronto Centre.
A new addition, designed by Bregman + Hamann Architects, was added to the south side next to the CN Tower in 1997 to expand convention space.
Across the street is the CBC's Canadian Broadcasting Centre, home to the The National newscast.
