11月3日，多倫多大都會會展中心被安大略旅游行業協會頒授“可持續發展卓越獎”，表彰場館在環保方面做出的持久而出色的貢獻。

MTCC recognised for sustainability efforts

In 3 November， the Metro Toronto Convention Centre （MTCC） has been honoured with the 2020 Tourism Industry Association of Ontario （TIAO） Award of Excellence for Sustainable Tourism. This award recognises the MTCC for making an outstanding contribution to the practice and promotion of sustainable tourism in Ontario.

Sustainability is embedded in the MTCCs corporate culture. Every year， the facility redirects 90% of event waste from landfill by recycling and donating food and materials to local charities. In fiscal year 2019/20 alone， the centre diverted the equivalent of 35 garbage trucks of waste from landfill. The MTCC offers every event the opportunity to go green. The facility was the first convention centre in Canada to offer events clean renewable power and the first in North America to use the app Voyage Control to reduce CO2 emissions during event move-in and move-out.
