Canadian National Exhibition

Exhibition in Canada
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is governed by the Canadian National Exhibition Association (CNEA) and its volunteer Board of Directors. The CNEA is governed and operated under the jurisdiction by the Canadian National Exhibition Association Act of 1983 as amended by the Statutes of Ontario in 1999 and the Province of Ontario Agricultural & Horticultural Organizations Act of 1988.
The CNEA is a provincially chartered association which resides on a municipal site. Through various agreements with the City of Toronto including the current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the CNE receives administrative, financial and operational services from Exhibition Place. The MOU also provides for the use of the buildings and grounds for the annual CNE.
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is an 18-day fair taking place every August concluding on Labour Day. Throughout the course of its 130 year history, the CNE has grown to be the largest annual fair in Canada and the fourth largest in North America attracting approximately 1.3 million visitors each year.
The Canadian National Exhibition takes place on 192 acres of Exhibition Place in Toronto. The CNE’s roots are in agriculture and this continues to be a strong component of the Fair which features a working farm and the Horse Show. Over time, the CNE has grown to include the highest level of Canadian and international performers.

Central to any fair is its midway. The CNE features two midways (Adult & Kiddie) that include more than 50 rides and 80 games. The large main midway, situated in the heart of the grounds, is not for the faint of heart. Adjacent to Kids’ World is the Kiddie Midway with rides and games catering to the youngest of our visitors.

The midway is also home to a wide variety of delicious "fair foods" and food can also be found in the CNE Food Building, which is one of a kind in North America with over 90 vendors featuring foods from around the world.

Each year the CNE hosts the Canadian International Air Show. A highlight of the fair, this 3-day air show takes place on Labour Day Weekend. It is the largest over-the-water air show in the world and features Canada’s top precision flying team, The Snowbirds.

The CNE is Toronto’s unofficial “Summer Celebration”. With its unique variety of entertainment, the CNE offers something for everyone. For many families it is a tradition that has lasted generations.

Toronto city

This a largest city in Canada & the capital of the province of Ontario, Canada's most populous province.
Toronto Canada is known as a city of neighborhoods. Distinct areas, often centered on a main street, like : Queen, College, Bloor etc.), are packed tightly together but each has something different to offer. The relative compactness of these neighborhoods makes exploring on foot easy and pleasant, especially in the warmer months.
Toronto's climate is characterised by fairly cold and icy winters where temperatures average 24°F in January. Contrary to Canadian stereotypes, the city experiences very hot and humid summers with an average high of 80°F during the daytime in July. Late spring and early fall are generally considered to be the most pleasant times to visit, and summer is by far the busiest tourist season, but visitors will find that Toronto's vibrancy extends well through the winter. Toronto's public buildings are nearly all air-conditioned in summer, and are well heated in winter. Sometimes, during the winter, severe storms can shut down the city for a day or two. In the summer, many thunderstorms are common.

Climate In Toronto

Toronto's climate is moderate for Canada due to its southerly location within the country and its proximity to Lake Ontario. It has a humid continental climate, with warm, humid summers and generally cold winters. The city experiences four distinct seasons with considerable variance in day to day temperature, particularly during the colder weather season. Due to urbanization and proximity to water, Toronto has a fairly low diurnal temperature range, at least in built-up city and lakeshore areas. At different times of the year, this maritime influence has various localized and regional impacts on the climate, including lake effect snow and delaying the onset of spring- and fall-like conditions or seasonal lag.
Toronto winters sometimes feature short cold snaps where maximum temperatures remain below −10 °C (14 °F), often made to feel colder by wind chill. Snowstorms, sometimes mixed with ice and rain can disrupt work and travel schedules, accumulating snow can fall anytime from November until mid-April. However, mild stretches also occur throughout winter melting accumulated snow, with temperatures reaching into the 5 to 14 °C (40 to 57 °F) range and infrequently higher. Summer in Toronto is characterized by long stretches of humid weather. Daytime temperatures occasionally surpass 35 °C (95 °F), with high humidity making it feel oppressive during usually brief periods of hot weather. Spring and Autumn are transitional seasons with generally mild or cool temperatures with alternating dry and wet periods.
Precipitation is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year, but summer is usually the wettest season, the bulk falling during thunderstorms. There can be periods of dry weather, but drought-like conditions are rare. The average yearly precipitation is 33 inch, with an average annual snowfall of about 52 in. Toronto experiences an average of 2,038 sunshine hours or 44% of possible, most of it during the warmer weather season.
