A world-class business
centre to support
global partnerships
The Ontario Investment and Trade Centre offers best-in-class meeting facilities
and state-of-the-art technologies designed to make it easier for foreign
investors to discover how Ontario can help them grow their business.
Through the Centre, which is conveniently located in the heart of Toronto’s
central business district, international clients have one-window access to the full
range of Ontario’s investment, trade, and business immigration services, and
the “people” networks that can get deals done.
The goal? Provide investors and trade professionals with seamless, coordinated,
best-in-class service that will encourage them to do business with Ontario for
years to come.
“For foreign investors, the OITC immediately conveys the impression that
Ontario is very interested in attracting investment to the province. Our
first meetings at the Centre, where we met with municipal representatives
and officials from across the province, served as an excellent introduction
to Canada. Clearly, a lot of thought went into the Centre’s design. It’s well
organized and well set-up for presentations and meetings. It also has a
number of different-sized rooms which are ideal for a variety of meetings
and functions. Overall, it’s a very impressive facility.”
Chris Amey, Director,
Project Development (Canada), Rentech Inc. USA
Leadership in sustainable design
The architectural design of the Centre showcases advanced energy-saving technologies, recycled/renewable
elements and a visually stunning array of building materials from across Ontario including maple, cherry woods,
copper and precision-milled stainless steel.
The Centre was awarded silver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification – the
construction industry’s internationally recognized standard for environmental sustainability and energy
efficiency. It is the first Ontario government office to be LEED certified for interior office retrofit.
“One of the great advantages of the Ontario Investment and Trade Centre is that you have everything
under one roof – board rooms, meeting rooms, a large reception area, theatre-style presentation
rooms, the technology you need – and it’s all in a accessible, central location. Add to that a highly
professional staff and you have a very impressive, easy-to-use venue for industry meetings,
presentations and events.”
Glen Hodgson, Senior Vice-President and Chief Economist, The Conference Board of Canada
“All the light that pours in from the
large picture windows overlooking the
city makes the Ontario Investment and
Trade Centre a very welcoming and
comfortable meeting place to do
business. It’s also a highly flexible
facility right in the heart of downtown,
with great technology and very helpful
staff. It has been an excellent venue
for our events.”
A welcoming, flexible space for
meetings and events
The 2,100 m2 (23,000 square-foot) facility artfully
combines sleek, highly functional design with
executive-class amenities. All of the main rooms
offer spectacular views of the downtown skyline.
Each of the boardrooms features cherry wood
wainscoting.
