A beacon for multiculturalism, Toronto is home to incredible history, festivals, food, and of course an iconic skyline view. As the largest city in Canada and the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto is the home to our CARSTAR Canada conference, themed RISE.

Toronto is reaching new heights of international recognition in 2024, and it’s not just because of its global superstars like Drake and Justin Bieber, or its iconic 2019 NBA champions, the Toronto Raptors. This dynamic city is also home to one of the world’s largest and most prestigious film festivals, the Toronto International Film Festival, along with Caribana, a vibrant celebration that draws over two million visitors annually, and the Canadian National Exhibition, the largest fair in the country, taking place on the beautiful waterfront. These major events are just the tip of the iceberg in a city steeped in history, with landmarks like the Distillery District—where Victorian-era warehouses now house boutiques, bars, galleries, and restaurants—Toronto's one-of-a-kind Casa Loma, a grand castle built by a wealthy financier in 1914, and the iconic CN Tower, where you can take the thrilling EdgeWalk along its dizzying perimeter.

Toronto is truly the perfect backdrop for our Canadian conference. Hosted at the Westin Harbour Castle, you’ll experience stunning waterfront views as we immerse ourselves in three days of education, collaboration, and celebration. With over 40 CARSTAR facilities in the Greater Toronto Area, this area is also home to some longstanding and innovative franchise partners.

As the industry’s leading premier collision repair provider, we believe it’s our job to continue raising the bar for this industry. This is why it’s so crucial for us to rise together, share knowledge, and empower each other for the future at this can’t-miss event.

Thank you all for your continued commitment to our CARSTAR family and we look forward to seeing you all in “the six” this August.
