Exodus Productions was arguably the first production company in Canada to throw regular rave style events at the warehouse space known as 23 Hop, located at 318 Richmond Street West in [[Toronto]]'s [[Toronto Entertainment District|Entertainment District]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=23 Hop {{!}} Rave, Warehouse and Afterhours Venue |date=24 August 2009 |url=http://www.thecommunic8r.com/2009/08/23-hop-318-richmond-street-west |website=www.thecommunic8r.com |access-date=2021-02-12}}</ref> The first party was held on 31 August 1991. Multiple production companies would quickly follow suit, and the rave scene would soon explode into a massive scene, with 23 Hop as the initial launching pad, until its closure in 1995. The documentary film ''The Legend of 23 Hop'' highlighted the early stages of Exodus and similarly modelled production companies.<ref>{{Cite web |date=31 August 2019 |title=The Legend of 23 Hop: A Documentary on the Murky Origins of Toronto's Rave Scene. |url=https://digitizedgraffiti.com/2019/08/31/the-legend-of-23-hop-a-documentary-on-the-murky-origins-of-torontos-rave-scene/ |website=digitizedgraffiti.com |access-date=2021-02-12 |language=en}}</ref> Notable DJs that performed at 23 Hop included [[Moby]], Mark Oliver, Dino & Terry, Sean L., Dr. No, Malik X, DJ Ruffneck, Jungle PhD, Kenny Glasgow, Matt C, John E, Danny Henry and David Crooke.<ref>{{Cite web|date=17 September 2014|title=Then & Now: 23 Hop|url=http://thenandnowtoronto.com/2014/09/then-now-23-hop/|access-date=2021-02-12|website=Then and Now: Toronto Nightlife History|language=en-US}}</ref>

In 2001 Calgary, Alberta became the first major municipality in Canada to pass a bylaw with respect to raves. The intent of the bylaw was to ensure that raves would be safe for participants, and also not unduly disruptive to adjacent neighbourhoods. The bylaw was created in consultation with representatives from the municipality, the province of Alberta, and the rave community.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hunter|first=Sylvia|year=2002|title=Raves reviewed: An extended dance event bylaw|journal=Plan Canada|language=en|volume=42 | issue = 1 |pages=27–28|doi=10.25316/ir-158|issn=0032-0544}}</ref>
