About Toronto

There is so much to love in Toronto, a statement which is their tourism slogan, a true one nonetheless. Queen City is in Ontario and on the Golden Horseshoe, a geographic area with large segments of the Canadian population that wraps around Lake Ontario’s western end. It is home to 2.8 million people, making it Canada’s largest metropolis.

Indigenous people inhabited the land for 10,000 years before it became the early version of the locale it is today. It remains an immigrant destination, housing diverse groups of people. The business economy is robust, with the Toronto Stock Exchange, technology firms, and many others located here. It’s also a popular destination for music, film, and television production. Several major league sports teams round out the entertainment sector.

The CN Tower is iconic along the Toronto skyline, and those who visit the top enjoy the reward of 360-degree city views. The Scarborough Bluffs, Humbler Bay Arch Bridge, 3D Toronto sign, and Casa Loma are other easily recognizable architectural and natural features.
