About Toronto Vibrant city on the shore of Lake Ontario
Toronto lies on
the shore of Lake Ontario, the easternmost of the Great Lakes. Home
to more than 2 million people, the city is the key to one of North
America's most vibrant regions, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
4.5 million Canadians live in the GTA, the cultural, entertainment,
and financial capital of the nation. The city is also the seat of
the Ontario government.
Toronto is a vibrant urban centre made
up of eclectic, lively neighbourhoods. It’s a feature unique
to our city. Few cities in the world boast our concentrations of diverse
cultures, festivals and businesses offering widely satisfying opportunities
for international adventure.

in North America, with over 100 languages to be heard as you walk
