On a typical business morning on King Street West, in the heart of Toronto s financial district, the Exchange Tower is a busy place. Traders in distinctive blue jackets discuss the morning markets. Executives head to meetings.
Couriers hustle in and out of elevators.
Local business reporters set up cameras for interviews. There s an unspoken but palpable confidence here, underscoring a commitment, even in uncertain economic times, to financial excellence. Clearly, the TSE is an entity that continues to blaze a trail in a Canadian financial industry that, throughout its history, has led to expansion from city to country and now into the realm of borderless global finance. A visitor s pulse can easily quicken upon entering the Exchange Tower s ground floor Stock Market Place. Opened in June 1998, it s the TSE s showpiece, a visitors centre that provides interactive displays and information on how the stock market works.
