About Toronto

Welcome to Toronto, the major gateway to Canada and fifth largest city in North America. With almost 5 million inhabitants in the greater metropolitan area, Toronto boasts one of the most ethnically diverse urban populations on the planet, a testament to the multiculturalism that makes up the face of modern Canada. Toronto is the Huron Nation’s word for “meeting place” – a fitting title for a dynamic city that is home to more than 100 cultures and host to events of local, national and international scope.

Located on the shores of Lake Ontario, the easternmost of the Great Lakes, Toronto is the capital of the province of Ontario. Clean, green and secure, the city is a magnet for business and entertainment, as a North American financial centre and one of the top 3 cities of the world for theatre, after London and New York. With a plethora of options for shopping delights, cuisines of almost every nation, handsome parks and trails, unique neighbourhoods and cultural sites, Toronto invites you to come and enjoy all that the city has to offer.

Canada

A vast country with a comparatively small population, Canada enjoys great geographic and cultural diversity, its cities, towns and farms situated amidst huge areas of pristine forests, lakes, mountains, prairies and tundra, all home to Canadians of European, Latin, Asian, African and First Nations (Native Indian and Inuit) origins. Despite its immense natural landscapes, Canada is one of the most urbanized nations in the world, with nearly 80% of its 33 million inhabitants living in cities.

There’s much to discover – from a panoply of natural wonders to sophisticated, friendly cities with excellent hotels, fine restaurants, theatres, art galleries and museums. From coast to coast, Canadians extend visitors a warm welcome and offer unsurpassed hospitality.
