The G20 summit is coming to Toronto this summer and preparations are well underway.

Roads will be closed and a new jail will be opened.

An old movie studio will be used as a temporary holding cell during the June 26-27 summit. It’s located about five kilometres east of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

Officials have said the event will be larger than the Vancouver Olympics.
