Comment

The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is a 18-day annual event that takes place at Exhibition Place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. 

The Electrical and Engineering Building was constructed in 1928 and demolished in 1972. From 1969-71 the building theme was Young Canada. Four of the eight statues from the colonnade of the Electrical and Engineering Building are now located in Heritage Court of the Enercare Centre.
