Rescued by the Ontario Heritage Trust and restored to its original grandeur, the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre is the last operating double-decker theatre in the world. It is a superb venue for the performing arts – from stage plays to musicals to opera.

In order to continue to preserve and protect this much-loved landmark and maintain the venue as a vibrant cultural hub, the Trust depends on support from government, corporations, foundations and individual donors. Current needs include: support for ongoing capital restoration, programming celebrating the history of the Centre and live performances programming for youth and children.

The Ontario Heritage Trust is pleased to offer corporate and individual supporters a range of prominent naming opportunities at the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre.

A naming sponsorship at this magnificent National Historic Site reaches hundreds of thousands of Torontonians and tourists annually – including theatre audiences, visitors, online visitors and passersby on Yonge Street, Canada’s busiest thoroughfare.

If you wish to learn more about naming opportunities at the Theatre Centre, including the Elgin Theatre, the Winter Garden Theatre and their lobbies, lounges and rehearsal studios, contact:
