Niagara Falls Convention Centre

The Niagara Falls Convention Centre is a convention centre located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, along Stanley Avenue and Dunn Street. It was previously known as the Scotiabank Convention Centre from 2011 to 2021 and was renamed after Scotiabank's naming rights expired.

History
In 2007, a public-private partnership was formed to fund the project. Both the federal and provincial governments contributed $35 million each and the remaining one-third commitment came from private investors. The Regional Municipality of Niagara provided the lease of land on which the facility was built for a nominal fee of $1 per year. Construction on the two-storey building began on May 1, 2009. The halfway point of construction was marked by a ceremony on April 30, 2010.

The convention centre often hosts large events that attract tourists from outside the city. Some examples of hosted events include the Canadian Cheer National Championships, the Niagara Falls Comic Con, and the 420 Expo. The building has also been used as a film set location. The convention centre was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, as tourism to Niagara Falls dwindled and government restrictions were made on building capacity. It was used as a mass vaccination site during the pandemic.
