Toronto, Ontario
Canada's largest city is a glorious combination of
interesting, distinct neighbourhoods blending multicultural heritage with
urban chic. It has a worldwide reputation for being very clean and safe. The
downtown core, with the Entertainment District, sky-high bank  towers, and
bustling activity, is fast-paced and always exciting. Surrounding the communities of
Toronto and adding plenty of green to our world is a vast assortment of parklands--nearly
10,000 acres, with rivers, forests, wilderness preserves, beaches, extensive
lakefront paths, and the tranquility of the Toronto Islands a short ferry ride from the harbour. Getting To Know Us!
