flag Ontario plans a massive new convention centre in Toronto to replace the outdated current one and boost global event hosting.

flag Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced plans for a new 2-million-square-foot convention centre in Toronto, nearly five times larger than the current Metro Toronto Convention Centre, to boost the city’s global competitiveness in hosting international events. flag Ford criticized the existing facility’s outdated infrastructure and its ranking of 24th out of 25 major global cities for conventions, citing lost events and economic impact. flag While the exact location remains undisclosed, sources point to Exhibition Place as a likely site, with the project expected to be officially announced later in 2026. flag The new centre, described as a “shock and awe” development, will remain under construction while the current venue continues operating. flag The project is part of broader infrastructure plans, including the Ontario Line subway, though concerns persist over traffic and timelines.
