Description: Jehovah’s Witnesses will return to the Toyota Arena in Ontario after a three-year pandemic pause for their annual convention series. The theme for the 2023 series is “Exercise Patience”! This year, the Toyota Arena in Ontario will host four of the three-day events, beginning July 7-10. To prepare for the conventions, volunteers will complete a major facility cleanup the Thursday prior to each weekend. Prior to 2020, summers in Ontario were marked by Jehovah’s Witnesses filling hotels and restaurants as they attended their conventions at the Toyota Arena. In 2020, the Witnesses canceled their in-person events throughout the world and held their convention programs as virtual events in more than 500 languages.“My wife and I have been attending conventions at the arena in Ontario since 2015,” said Frank Andrade, local spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses.“Safely gathering to see thousands of smilingfaces, reunite with friends, and welcome visitors from the community in a positive atmosphere.
