Toronto is one of the world’s most multicultural cities. Almost half of its population are immigrants. You’ll hear more than 140 languages and dialects spoken on the streets in this “City of Neighborhoods”. It’s the most populous city in Canada (more than 5 million in the Greater Toronto Area) and the province of Ontario’s economic engine. Toronto’s motto is “Diversity Our Strength”. Toronto prides itself on its wide range of cultures, languages, food and arts.
Visit Toronto, and one of the first things you’ll notice is that the city’s appeal lies in its citizens’ friendliness: ask for directions, and you’ll be helped. Along with its highly artistic culture and fascinating museums that proudly display the country’s history, it’s clear that a Toronto trip has something for everyone.
Although Toronto’s climate is partially moderated by its Great Lakes location, it is more extreme than Bordeaux’s and Christchurch’s, with somewhat hotter summers and considerably colder winters. Summertime in Toronto is festival time. Just about every weekend, and some weekdays, you’ll find one happening. If crowds aren’t your thing, avoid Caribana festival (July 28 through July 31), when the city greets more than one million visitors.
