Enwave Theatre Announcement

Harbourfront Centre Embarks on a New Partnership with the Unveiling of 

Enwave Theatre!

TORONTO, November 21, 2006  William J.S. Boyle, Chief Executive Officer 

of Harbourfront Centre and Dennis Fotinos, President & Chief Executive 

Officer of Enwave Energy Corporation, today announced an exciting new 

partnership and a new name for Harbourfront Centre Theatre, which will 

now be known as Enwave Theatre.  

This theatre has played a major role in the celebration of contemporary 

culture which has unfolded over the past 33 years on our 10 acre site, 

commented William Boyle. Many of the worlds iconic performers have 

enthused, provoked, startled and fulfilled our cultural cravings over 

the years on this stage. Today I am happy to welcome a new site sponsor 

who understands the critical role that diversity of expression and 

cultural awareness play in our daily lives and proudly lends its name to 

one of our major facilities.

When asked why he decided to develop the partnership with Harbourfront 

Centre, Enwaves Dennis Fotinos explains, "Enwave and Harbourfront Centre 

are natural partners.  We are both committed to developing and 

celebrating the many communities that bring life to the city of Toronto 

and we both are inextricably linked to Lake Ontario.  We are very 

pleased to bring the Enwave name to an historic building that was 

originally a heating plant and is today the home to hundreds of 

performances and performers every year that demonstrate the vitality and 

creativity of Toronto."

Built in 1926, the Ice House, as it was first known, and its sister 

building the Power Plant, provided the heating and cooling for North 

Americas largest food warehouse situated just to the east which is now 

Queens Quay Terminal. A major redesign by Lett Smith Architects in 1986 

with final renovations in 1991 produced the renowned performance space 

that today becomes known as the Enwave Theatre. Since opening, the 

theatre has hosted over 475 different performance groups from diverse 

world cultures and amassed a total of more than 10,000 individuals who 

have trod its boards to entertain countless enthusiastic audiences from 

around the globe.

Enwave is a Toronto based district energy corporation providing heating 

and cooling services to over 140 office buildings in the citys downtown 

core.  Enwave pioneered Deep Water Cooling, an innovative process which 

draws ice-cold water from 83 metres below the surface of Lake Ontario.  

This naturally cold water makes its way to an energy transfer station 

and Enwaves closed chilled water supply loop, without entering the Citys 

water supply.  This cold energy is then used to cool many of Torontos 

financial district office buildings, sporting facilities and other 

businesses.  Enwaves renewable energy resource provides an alternative 

technology to conventional air conditioning.
