Recently, there has been increasing coverage of the potential ramifications of the G20 Summit being held in Toronto in late June. Typically, these Summits attract a large number of protesters, and require an increased security presence to protect delegates, dignitaries and area businesses. The 2010 G20 Summit is being held on June 26th and June 27th at The Metro Toronto Convention Centre, which is located at 255 Front Street. Due to our close proximity to the conference site and host hotels, The Rostie Group has taken steps to educate our 20 Bay Street (WaterPark Place) tenants about the potential impact of the Summit.
Officials are urging business owners in the Toronto financial district to plan for delays and disruptions during the week of June 21st to June 28th. Although there is a strong likelihood that the protestors will be peaceful and disturbances will be minimal, we are planning for the worst while hoping for the best. Below is some more valuable information about the G20 Summit in June. We will share any important updates, once they become available.
