Toronto is the trendy city of Canada: it has great entertainment venues, world-class theater,
fantastic restaurants, and numerous interesting attractions, including the Hockey Hall of Fame, the CN Tower, and the ell-regarded Art Gallery of Ontario.
The city has a number of delightful parks that come alive in warmer weather. If you have time, see the St. Lawrence Market Complex in the historic Old Town Toronto.
Toronto is the provincial capital of Ontario, and the largest city in Canada. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario.
With over 2.5 million residents, it is the fifth most populous municipality in North America. The city is intersected by two rivers and numerous tributaries: the Humber River in the west end and the Don River east of downtown at opposite ends of the Toronto Harbour. The harbour was naturally created by sediment build-up from lake currents that created the Toronto Islands. The many creeks and rivers cutting from north toward the lake created large tracts of densely forested ravines, and provide ideal sites for parks and recreational trails. However, the ravines also interfere with the city's grid plan, and this results in major thoroughfares such as Finch Avenue, Leslie Street, Lawrence Avenue, and St. Clair Avenue terminating on one side of ravines and continuing on the other side. Other thoroughfares such as the Prince Edward Viaduct are required to span above the ravines.
