The Great Hall is a music and cultural events venue in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Built in 1889 by Gordon & Helliwell for the West End branch of the Toronto Young Men's Christian Association, the building has served as the headquarters of several organizations throughout its history, including the Royal Templars of Temperance, the Independent Order of Foresters, and the Polish National Union. It underwent a significant restoration project by Triangle Development that was completed in 2016 and reopened as an events venue in September of that year. Following its restoration, The Great Hall serves as a venue for corporate events, weddings, concerts, and cultural events, including the Toronto Fashion Week.
