Restaurants Canada Partners With Hotel X Toronto

Partnership set to elevate offsite experiences and showcase sustainability at Canada’s largest annual foodservice and hospitality event.

Restaurants Canada has officially selected Hotel X Toronto by Library Hotel Collection, the city’s newest hospitality hotspot, as home to RC Show’s offsite industry events during RC Hospitality Week.

Known as the hospitality event of the year, RC Show and RC Hospitality Week bring hospitality and foodservice professionals together to enjoy culinary experiences, network, and learn about the ideas and trends that are transforming their industry. The upcoming RC Show will take place from February 24-26, 2019 and will revolve around the theme of sustainability.

“We are thrilled our guests can now enjoy an elevated offsite experience and luxurious accommodations as part of our world-class annual event,” said Shanna Munro, Restaurants Canada President and CEO. “Launching this partnership in the lead up to the 2019 RC Show is especially fitting, as the new hotel embodies sustainability – from its onsite renewable energy systems, to its food and waste disposal and composting program, to its Buy Local Products program that promotes Ontario-grown produce and incentivizes the local economy.”

Located across from the RC Show venue at the Enercare Centre, Hotel X Toronto by Library Hotel Collection boasts impressive meeting spaces, stunning views and is the perfect backdrop for the trade show’s offsite festivities.
