The Princes' Gates is a triumphal arch and a monumental gateway at Exhibition Place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The Princes' Gates was initially conceived in the 1920s, forming part of a larger redevelopment effort of the eastern portions of Exhibition Place.

In 1987, the municipal government named Princes' Gates as a "structure of architectural and historic interest" under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) was established in 1879 at the foot of Dufferin Street, leasing the western-most portion of the Military Reserve attached to the Toronto Garrison.

[3] A municipal referendum was held on January 1, 1927, to approve the construction of the triumphal arch and a boulevard that would lead to it at the cost of CA$363,000 ($6.27 million in 2023 dollars)[5].

[6] Construction for the triumphal arches took place later that year, from April 14 to August 30, with the structure itself costing approximate CA$152,240 ($2.63 million in 2023 dollars)[5].

[9] Since the Princes' Gates were opened in 1927, a procession of veterans has marched through the arch for the annual Warriors' Day Parade held at the CNE.

[13] A decade later, on June 15, 1987, the municipal government of Toronto named Princes' Gates as a structure of architectural and historic interest, as authorized by the Ontario Heritage Act.

[16] The renovations also includes stylized marble benches, two-tone granite pavers, and embedded reflectors to augment the lighting used to illuminate the structure at night.

[16] Improvements to Strachan Avenue were also made during these renovations, in order to better facilitate pedestrian traffic travelling from the roadway to Exhibition Place.

[19] Imitations of the central sculpture were originally intended to flank to the coat of arms, although these figures were replaced in later designs with ones representing the industries of Ontario.

[8] Several inscriptions exist on the structure, the largest reading "Canadian National Exhibition 1879 1927," at the front of the Roman-styled arch.

[9] Another inscription commemorating the gate's opening by the Prince of Wales and Duke of Kent exists on the inside wall of the central arch.

[18] As McKechnie worked closely with Chapman on a day-to-day basis over the design of the structure, there exists no record of the discussions that took place concerning the symbolism of the sculptures.

[19] Two pairs of identical sculptures are situated at the front and back corners of the Roman-styled arch, holding two beehives and two cornucopias.
