About Canada & Toronto
_____________________________________
Canada
Most people's conception of Canada goes little beyond appreciating its vastness, recognizing its flag and identifying a few well-known physical features. And while it's true that the majority of travelers are attracted by the opportunity to explore Canada's wilderness areas, natural wonders and low-key
rural charm, there is a lot more to Canada than
maple trees, Niagara Falls and wide open spaces.
It's the edginess between Canada's indigenous, French and British traditions that gives the nation its complex three-dimensional character. Add to this a constant infusion of US culture and a plethora of traditions brought from Europe, Asia and Latin America by migrants, and you have a thriving multicultural society very much in the process of forming its own identity. Those expecting Canada to be a blander counterpart of the USA should check their preconceptions at the door - Canada's wild northern frontier, which has etched itself into the national psyche, and its distinct patchwork of peoples have created a country that is decidedly different from it's southern neighbor

Toronto
Toronto is still considered one of the safest cities in the World.
Toronto is located on the northern shore of Lake Ontario. The word Toronto is taken from the North American native Huron language and means "meeting place". Today you can visit various areas in the city and experience cultures from around the world. It is now, more than ever, a "meeting place".
Toronto has many points of interest. Among them Toronto Islands (a 20 minute ferry ride from the city), The Royal Ontario Museum, The Art Gallery of Ontario, CN Tower, Skydome and many more.
The climate in Toronto is the second mildest in Canada, after Victoria/Vancouver. The spring and summer temperature range goes from 15 C (60F) to 25C (80F). During winter months, the average daytime temperature, hangs around sub-zero and a snowfall of more than 10 cm is unusual.
