Enercare Centre

Enercare Centre is an exhibition complex located at Exhibition Place in Toronto. It is used by the Canadian National Exhibition and the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, as well as by various trade shows. In 2015, it hosted several sport competitions and the broadcasting centre for the 2015 Pan American Games. The complex is named after Enercare, a portfolio company that specializes in home services, commercial services, and energy solutions. The open space was previously the site of the Engineering and Electrical Building, opened in 1928 and torn down in 1972. Designed by architectural teams Zeidler Partnership Architects and Dunlop-Farrow Architects, the building officially opened on April 3, 1997, with its first show being the National Home Show. It has seven exhibit halls with one million square feet (93,000 m2) of exhibition space. Four of the halls are separated by removable walls to create configurable space. It is the largest indoor exhibition centre in Canada. The project cost CA$180 million(CA$266 million in 2018 dollars). The cost was shared equally by the Toronto, Ontario and Canadian governments.
