The 2010 G-20 Leaders' Summit on Financial Markets and the World Economy is an international meeting that will take place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Set to take place during June 26 and June 27, 2010, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper initially proposed the town of Huntsville to be the site of the summit, which will also host the 36th G8 summit. Huntsville was later deemed to be insufficient to provide hospitality for the G-20 world leaders and protestors, and thus, the G-20 summit was later finalized to take place in Toronto.
In his welcome speech at the G-20 sherpas' meeting, Harper announced the theme of the Toronto summit would be "Recovery and New Beginnings" from the impact of the concurrent world recession. The goals of the Toronto summit would be to work on putting forth the ideas brough up during the Washington, London, and Pittsburgh summits, improving the international financial sector, and keeping open markets.
Since May 2010, the Toronto Police Service, the Ontario Provincial Police, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have been working on security in the Toronto region, especially in the Downtown core, where the summit will take place. Police officials have already begun to choose locations to detain protestors and plan traffic detours which would be in place during the two day summit.[1] Several local events, especially the Toronto vs. Philadelphia Major League Baseball game, which were set to take place during the time of the summit, have been affected due to their proximity to the summit location.[2]
