There are times when a change of scenery can make a world of difference. Located steps away from a beautiful sandy beach and Toronto's oldest landmark, the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse, the Retreat Centre offers a variety of affordable room rentals for an amazing range of events including staff retreats, small conferences, organizational planning sessions, seminars, presentations and symposia, as well as fundraising and special events.
 
Since it opened in 1999, the Retreat Centre has provided a creative thinking environment for the staff and boards of hundreds of non-profit organizations as well as program managers and policy makers from all areas of government. With its spectacular natural setting and exhilarating 10-minute ferry ride from downtown Toronto, the Retreat Centre is a venue that can bring a refreshing and positive flavour to any gathering.
