Introduction to Toronto

Toronto is the largest city in Canada and the fifth largest city region in North America. It latitude means that it lies south of Paris, London and even American cities such as Portland and Seattle. It used to be a city where the sidewalks were empty by 8pm, and the shops were shuttered on Sundays. However, today it is unrecognizable. It is hugely diverse, with a population of 4.5 million people, originating from an unbelievable 170 different countries, and speaking over 100 languages. It really is a mosaic of cultures, with all the ethnic groups getting along. The new Toronto is vibrant, cosmopolitan and bursting with energy. Downtown consists of a mixture of historic and contemporary architecture, with grand Romanesque-revival masterpieces contrasting perfectly with skyscrapers and beautiful Victorian dwellings. Toronto is the capital of the performing arts scene in English-speaking Canada. This has blossomed even more in recent times, with the addition of some fabulous new venues and the rejuvenation of some magnificent old ones. The burgeoning film industry has helped make the nightlife a lot more appealing and glamorous as well. The movie business is so big, that Toronto has inherited the nickname "Hollywood North". In spite of the city's rapid growth and alteration, it has somehow managed to retain its gentle attitude, feel for tradition and a wonderful strong sense of community. Toronto prides itself in being both clean and safe, whilst also catering for the general public with top class facilities. It has in effect transformed itself into a great world city, where important banks and government buildings converge with colorful ethnic enclaves, thus making it an exciting place to explore.
