Venue

Join us in Spectacular Toronto

Come and join us at the 2014 Global Summit on the Physical Activity of Children in Toronto, Canada - one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world; a place where international ideas intersect with Canadian culture. A centre of rare openness, warmth, energy and style, Toronto is enriched by the fusion of traditions, passions and perspectives on life of the more than 100 cultures found here.

A city of contrasts, Toronto’s skyline includes the CN Tower, one of the Modern Wonders of the World and glass skyscrapers juxtaposed with historic limestone facades. Miles of waterfront, boardwalks, parks and recreation trails, perfect for biking, running and walking, nestle together with urban delights like cafés, artisans’ exhibits and one-of-a-kind shops.

Recent “starchitectural” enhancements to prominent arts attractions have prompted pundits to refer to a “cultural renaissance” taking place in Toronto. Daniel Libeskind’s addition to the Royal Ontario Museum, Frank Gehry’s renewal of the Art Gallery of Ontario and the wholly new Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, designed by Jack Diamond, are just a few of the remarkable additions to the cityscape.

Beyond the city limits are breathtaking attractions within bucolic countryside. Experience the wonder of Niagara Falls, a renowned wine region, outstanding theatres and outdoor adventures—all within a short drive.

The Westin Harbour Castle

The 2014 Global Summit on the Physical Activity of Children is being held at The Westin Harbour Castle situated in a spectacular location on the shores of Lake Ontario in the heart of downtown Toronto. With easy access the lakeshore and its superb recreation trails and the lights and bustle of the downtown core the Westin Harbour Castle is the perfect spot to mix business and seeing the sights of Toronto.

Located close to Toronto’s world-class theatre district, sports venues such as the Air Canada Centre, Rogers Centre, and BMO Field, attractions like the CN Tower, Harbourfront Centre, the Toronto Island Ferry, and an abundance of restaurants – all are within easy reach of the hotel.
