October 26th 2016 is THE critical date for the Expo 2025 Canada initiative. The Expo 2025 Feasibility Study and an accompanying City Staff Report will be presented to the City’s Executive Committee who will then vote on whether or not to proceed with a formal bid, and seek to engage the federal and provincial governments. The result of this October 26th Executive Committee vote will largely determine how Toronto City Council will vote when it comes to a final vote by council on November 8th.
