If your exhibit includes platforms or structures with an area of 107 sq.ft. or greater, those structures are subject to compliance with the Ontario Building Code and must receive the approval of the City of Toronto, Urban Planning and Development Services and the Department of Buildings and Inspections.

Stairs and railings for a safe public access to the displayed boats should also receive the engineer approval.

To avoid individual exhibitors having to apply for their own building permits, each year the Toronto Boat Show obtains a general permit for the show floor and contracts a structural engineer to help exhibitors comply with the Ontario Building Code.
