NEW AND RENEWED VENUES Five fresh faces for your next event by Warren Heeley CM&E is once again pleased to bring our readers the news on recent developments in corporate meeting and event spaces in Canada. With venues being renovated and new properties popping up on an ongoing basis, meeting planners are challenged to stay on top of changes in this sector. This regular CM&E feature assists planners in staying ahead of what’s changed so they can make informed decisions for their next event. CM&E reviewed five properties that recently completed renovations or introduced new sites. Here’s what we learned: SIXTYEIGHT Toronto, ON In September 2025, SixtyEight opened its doors for the first time. Located on the top floor of the Scotia Plaza in Toronto’s financial district, it was described as the city’s newest luxury event and amenity space. Owned by KingSett Capital and Oliver & Bonacini Hospitality, the site is 68 floors above the city and includes a café and bar and 10,000 square feet of event space. In addition to having beautiful views of the city skyline, the Scotia Plaza is the first major zero-carbon performance certified building in Canada. There are eight rooms available for meetings and events. The largest room is the Cirrus Ballroom with a capacity of 250 (reception) and 200 (banquet). The second largest is the Amenity room with a capacity of 100 (reception) and 68 (banquet). The six other rooms start with the Orion, with a capacity of 30 for reception or banquet, and reduce to boardroom settings for groups of between four and 20. The site offers chef-driven cuisine and some of Toronto’s most coveted dining experiences. Event packages are available that cater to planners’ every need. The venue is adaptable for conferences, galas, product launches and other corporate events.
