Toronto, a Native
Indian word meaning 'meeting place' is an apt name for this exuberant city, the largest in
Canada, home to people from all over the world. Toronto is a remarkable city -
unbelievably clean and safe, it represents a tantalising melange of history, business,
art, culture and nature. The busiest port in Canada, it is also the national hub for
banking, publishing, communications and manufacturing. A heady cocktail of art galleries,
magnificent skyscrapers, heritage buildings, amusement parks, impressive museums --
Toronto has plenty to enthrall visitors. The tremendous ethnic diversity lends a
distinctive charm to Toronto - the world in microcosm is represented here. |
