TORONTO
The Recycling Council of Ontario (RCO) awarded Exhibition Place its 3RCertified Platinum Level Status, which recognizes organizations showing leadership in waste reduction and diversion. Certification is awarded on the basis of an on-site evaluation and is valid for 3 years with successful annual assessments.
Exhibition Place as the only organization in Ontario to achieve this Platinum Level status.
The facility’s GREENSmart Program was established in 2004, and incorporates a number of environmental initiatives which reflect its goal of environmental responsibility and leadership with respect to sustainability, energy production and waste reduction.
Exhibition Place is Canada’s largest entertainment venue, attracting over 5.3 million visitors a year. The 192-acre site is an integral component of Toronto and Ontario’s economy, particularly with respect to conventions, sport, festivals, recreation, culture and tourism.
During the summer of 2015, Exhibition Place will become CIBC Pan Am Park, and will play host to up to 13 sports during the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Games.
