			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Metro Toronto Convention Centre is located at the heart of Downtown Toronto over at Front Street West. It is within walking distance from the waterfront. It is Canada&#8217;s foremost trade show and convention facility. It was built and completed in 1984 and has over 600,000 square feet of meeting and exhibit space. An underground addition was designed by Bregman +Hamann Architects to the south side to expand its convention space in 1997 to be what it is now. Today the Metro Toronto Convention Centre is home to the world class, John Basset Theater that can seat 1330 guests at one time and is located at the North Building. It is a self-contained area that has its own separate comfortable lobby and entrance located at the Front Street.

The John Basset Theater also has Showtech Productions under its wing to assist clients with their staging needs.</p>
<p>The North Building also has a 14,000 square foot registration area with a Guest Services Desk and a pre-function space worth 85,000 square feet and has electrical and telecommunication services fully available. The South Building on the other hand offers a 42,500 square foot registration space complete with fully electrical and telecommunication services and a Guest Services Desk as well. Its pre-function space is worth 82,000 square feet worth of carpeted area and is also fully electrical with telecommunication services ready to serve its guests. The Metro Toronto has 64 fully carpeted meeting rooms that cover a total area of 104,000 square feet of space.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Toronto is the most populous city of Canada with mainly English-speaking populace. It is situated northwest of Lake Ontario with which it shares a long shoreline. It has rich ethnic and cultural diversity making it a truly global city. It is also a major financial center of the world and diverse economic activities are conducted. The city has humid continental climate with warm, humid summers and cold winters. The variance in climatic conditions has resulted in the construction of climate controlled buildings. Among these buildings are included the Toronto Storage utilities.</p>
<p>The Toronto Storage spaces are available in different sizes: small, medium, large, and extra-large. Special well-sheltered, clean, and spacious units for parking trucks, buses, cars, boat, yacht, and other vehicles also exist. Rest assured that your vehicle will be protected from the vagaries of the weather and from all damages. If you wish to ascertain how much space you require, you can either use the online storage calculators or ask the experienced staff of the warehouses. The online calculators require you to fill details like the number of items you wish to store as per pre-defined categories to find the size of Toronto self storage you might require.</p>
<p>Mobile Storage is an innovative concept in which containers are used by the Toronto Storage service providers to move and store the things. Then it is moved to the warehouse and kept safely in climate controlled environment. Whenever the stored items are required, the container is sent back as it was. So, the frequent loading and unloading is prevented. You only need to load and unload once. Actually, this concept removes the transportation dimension from the storage process and also saves on the costs.</p>
<p>The Toronto Storage Units are usually located in the city center, close to the railway junctions and airports, at points of trans-shipment and on the outskirts of the Toronto city. The usual trend is to store fast moving and perishable items close to the city and hazardous, voluminous materials out of the city. Where the mode of transport changes, i.e., from water to rail/road, or, rail/road to airport, the storing spaces are built to store goods that are being transported.</p>
<p>Security is vital to storage business and is the single most important factor in winning over a customer. Nowadays, the Toronto Storage facilities are armed with state-of-the-art security systems for protection against theft, sabotage, short-circuiting and fire, and mala-fide intentions. Although crime rate in Toronto is less, the storage owners generally maintain high security standards. Proper lighting, alarms, guards, computerized access controls, CCTVs, etc. are commonly used in these units.</p>
