Chestnut
Chestnut Conference Centre is the ideal space to host a wide range of events, from breakfast meetings, working lunches, and executive training sessions, to multi-day conferences.
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Chestnut Residence and the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca and, most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
