A bit of history

Opened in 2005 as part of the Cineplex Entertainment chain, the theatre was built on the site of a former parking lot. It quickly became a key venue for TIFF, hosting red-carpet premieres and celebrity appearances. The name 'Scotiabank Theatre' reflects a sponsorship deal with the bank.
