An estimated 50,000 members of Alcoholics Anonymous will converge on Toronto for a four-day convention Canada Day weekend, boosting the city's economy by about $46 million. It is the largest convention the city has ever had, according to the Toronto Convention and Visitors Association.
Close to 10,500 hotel rooms at 75 hotels across Toronto have been booked. And it is expected — based on figures from the last international convention — that at least 75,000 cups of coffee will be sipped, half a tonne of ice cream will be savoured and one tonne of French fries will be munched on.
Imagine the lines! What I want to know is - how will this effect the price of a coffee at Starbucks or Tim Hortons?
