Destination Information

Standing proudly on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto is Canada’s largest city. The name Toronto is derived from the Iroquois word tkaronto, meaning “place where trees stand in the water.”Toronto was incorporated as a city in 1834.

By 1912, Toronto was coming into its own economically and the city saw the founding of the Royal Ontario Musueum. However it was not until the mid 70’s that Toronto’s population grew past Montreal’s to cement Toronto’s status as Canda’s most culturally and economically significant city.

Today’s Toronto is a vibrant, multicultural city with favorable living conditions, a prosperous economy and a strong theatre and the performing arts community. Every year millions of visitors flock Toronto to enjoy the parks, arts, scenery and attractions, such as the annual Caribana festival, said to be the largest festival in North America.
