Toronto Event Staffing

Union Station anchors the downtown core. Scotiabank Arena sits about 200 metres away, a five-minute covered walk through the PATH tunnels; Rogers Centre is roughly a kilometre further, beside the CN Tower; and the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, 442,000 square feet of exhibit space across 77 meeting rooms, sits directly across Front Street from Rogers Centre. On a night when the Blue Jays, a Leafs or Raptors game, and a trade show at the MTCC are all running, three separate load-in crews are working the same few downtown blocks off the same rail platform and the same stretch of the Gardiner Expressway.

Exhibition Place runs its own calendar two miles west along the lake. The Enercare Centre carries roughly a million square feet of exhibition space across its halls, BMO Field anchors the south end of the grounds, and the Canadian National Exhibition takes over the whole site every August into September. Toronto Pearson sits about 20 kilometres northwest, a 28-minute Union Pearson Express ride from downtown, and it's the actual gateway for a touring show or a national brand team flying in.

Sports and arena nights lead the downtown core: Blue Jays games at Rogers Centre, and Maple Leafs and Raptors nights at Scotiabank Arena, both inside the same few blocks as Union Station. Conventions and trade shows fill the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and the Enercare Centre at Exhibition Place, the latter's biggest calendar running around the Canadian National Exhibition every August into September.

Corporate events run heavy here because Toronto is head-office territory for the Canadian arm of most US and multinational companies, so a US planner's own company is often the client booking the Toronto leg of a national program. Festivals close out the summer: TIFF brings a citywide footprint of red carpets and industry events across downtown theatres every September, and Harbourfront Centre runs its own waterfront concert and festival series from June through September.
