A green phoenix rises at Exhibition Place, with the opening of Canada’s newest and greenest convention centre.

Globe and Mail: Report on Business by Angela Kryhul When the doors opened to the first “Motor Show” in Toronto’s Automotive Building in 1929, patrons were enthralled by the likes of the new Cord, Stutz, Duesenberg and Hudson, among many other vehicles, bathed in amber-tinted light streaming in through skylights. The skylights are gone – and now so are the cars. After eight decades and countless trade shows and other exhibits, the Automotive Building is getting a $46.88-million makeover that will see it outfitted with ballrooms and meeting rooms, and the exterior restored to the integrity of architect Douglas Kertland’s original design.

Council of the City of Toronto has approved a multi-year sponsorship agreement between Exhibition Place and MTS Allstream Inc., which sells enterprise communications services across Canada under its Allstream brand. The new conference centre being built within the heritage façade of the former Automotive Building will be named Allstream Centre - A Conference & Convention Centre at Exhibition Place.
