2 2.3 Toronto: Dynamic. Diverse. Successful.

3 M NUMBER OF PASSENGERS BILLY BISHOP TORONTO CITY AIRPORT, LOCATED 2 KM FROM EXHIBITION PLACE, SERVICES A YEAR Toronto is Canada s largest city, boasting a regional population of over 5.5 million people. Known as the world s most multicultural city, it s the dynamic home of more than 180 nationalities. The thriving local economy creates a highly successful market for exhibitions, conventions and events. Over 25% of Canada s population lives within 160 km (100 miles) of Toronto and more than 60% of the U.S. population lives within a 90-minute flight. Toronto is very well connected by air with over 65 airlines operating out of Pearson International Airport. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, located 2 km from Exhibition Place, is a convenient way to fly into the heart of the city and services 2.3 million passengers a year. More than 43,000 hotel rooms are complemented by over 9,000 restaurants and 25,000 retail stores. Diverse entertainment includes theatres, concert halls, museums and sports venues making Toronto an appealing destination for exhibition and convention delegates and show attendees. Micah Lexier, a Torontobased multimedia artist, created The Hall of Names 1,000 first names submitted by people across the country, laser-cut from sheets of stainless steel and suspended from the arched roof of the Galleria space at Enercare Centre.

6 Leading-edge Environmental Initiatives Enercare Centre is one of the world s most environmentally responsible exhibition and convention facilities. The Enercare Centre is one of the first convention centres in Canada to achieve LEED Gold certification. Our award-winning GREENSmart Program reflects the goals of sustainability, energy production and waste diversion within Enercare Centre and across the grounds of Exhibition Place.

7 Sustainability Energy Production LIGHTING RETROFIT The Enercare Centre has upgraded its existing metal halide light fixtures with high bay LED fixtures that are dimmable and have luminaire control modules. The estimated annual energy reduction from the project is MWh with an avoided green house gas emission of kg of CO 2, kg of SOx and kg of NOx. WIND TURBINE Exhibition Place features the first permanent wind turbine in Toronto a 30-storey structure capable of generating more than 1 million kilowatt hours of power per year. The turbine also helps to displace some of the harmful chemicals that are responsible for smog and acid rain, moving up to 1,800 tonnes of CO 2 annually. GREEN ROOF A green roof atop the adjacent Horse Palace building reduces HVAC costs in underlying structures, improves site storm-water management and, on a larger scale, helps to reduce the urban heat island effect and ultimately cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions. The Green Roof was able to reduce building temperatures by 1-2 degrees Celsius and results in a 5% decrease in electric demand for cooling. URBAN FORESTRY Exhibition Place is home to an urban forestry program that not only beautifies the grounds, but also helps improve air quality. There are more than 3,000 trees across the site, as well as numerous gardens. The trees are watered using irrigation from the adjacent Lake Ontario. Waste Diversion CO-GENERATION The 1.6 MW Co-Generation system utilizes natural gas combustion engines to generate two forms of secondary energy used to heat and power the Enercare Centre. Waste heat produced by the engine is recovered in the form of hot water that complements the boilers in the winter. SOLAR ENERGY In 2006, a 100 kw solar photovoltaic (PV) generation plant was installed on the rooftop of the Horse Palace, which was the single largest installation of its kind in Canada. Currently Exhibition Place has a total PV capacity of 600 kw that collects solar energy and generates clean, pollution-free electricity. The plant reduces CO 2 emissions by 245 tonnes annually. Our 30-storey wind turbine is capable of generating more than 1 million kilowatt hours of power per year, enough to power 250 homes annually. This program includes 4-stream recycling of paper, plastic/glass, food waste and litter from exhibitions and events. The facility uses and recycles 100% post-consumer hand towels in all public restrooms. There are also safe disposal and recycling programs for items such as batteries, fluorescent lamps, paint and toner cartridges. To date, the facility is already diverting over 85% of its waste.
