WILLIAM F. WHITE STUDIOS Mississauga

More than 50 years ago, WFW started as a movie equipment rental company. Since then, the company has evolved into operating film studios and now has nearly 550,000 square feet of production-ready space at three facilities in Mississauga. And it’s continuing to expand its orbit. WFW recently signed the lease on a 90-acre plot of land in Pickering, giving it the largest backlot in Canada. It also has plans to open a fourth facility, called Legacy, in Mississauga in early 2022.

KNOWN FOR: The Man From Toronto, an upcoming actioncomedy starring Woody Harrelson.

FUN FACT: The backlot in Pickering contains a 23-acre faux town, complete with shops, a town square and a police station.
