Toronto is the largest city in the country, often described as the “New York of Canada.” This is where you will find the biggest music and sport events, world cuisines and ethnically diverse communities. It is the financial capital of Canada and home to some of the best schools such as University of Toronto and York University. Located along the shores of beautiful Lake Ontario, Toronto offers much more than big city living. Water sports, beaches, and numerous city parks present many outdoor activities, not to mention nearby “cottage country” for a nature escape.
