About Toronto

Toronto, the capital of Ontario and Canada’s largest city, is a vibrant and multicultural metropolis with more than 2.5 million residents. Situated where the Humber and Don Rivers meet Lake Ontario, the city's name comes from an Iroquois word meaning "place where trees stand in the water." Toronto serves as a cultural, entertainment, and financial hub, offering a dynamic mix of urban and natural landscapes.

Toronto SkylineKnown as "The City of Neighbourhoods" for its 140 unique areas and "The City Within a Park" for its vast green spaces, Toronto seamlessly blends the bustle of downtown with the tranquility of parks, ravines, and waterfronts. A short walk or transit ride can take you from the lively city core to peaceful neighborhoods or serene natural settings.
