Metro Toronto Convention Centre: MTCC
Metro Toronto Convention Centre (originally and still colloquially Metro Convention Centre, and sometimes MTCC), is a convention complex located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada along Front Street West in the former Railway Lands in downtown Toronto. The property is today owned by Oxford Properties. The centre is operated by the Metropolitan Toronto Convention Centre Corporation, an independent agency of the Government of Ontario.
Widely recognized as top-of-class by meeting and event organizers around the world, the MTCC has hosted over 21,000 events in our nearly four-decade history. We are proud to support the local tourism industry as one of North America’s leading convention centres, having added $8.2 billion in direct spending economic impact to our community.

Based on the Ontario Tourism Regional Economic Impact Model (TREIM), the MTCC also sustained a record-breaking 7,622 jobs in the community in its 2017/18 fiscal year.
