Someone opened the 'civic pride' bottle
in Toronto fifty years ago and couldn't re-cork it! It is Canada's
biggest city and is home to an amazing array of sharp and sleek
architecture that'll leave a lasting impression. It is all very
modern and is in effect still growing. Toronto is a global city,
exerting significant regional, national, and international
influence, and is one of the world's most multicultural and
ethnically diverse cities. It is Canada's financial centre and
economic engine, as well as one of the country's most important
cultural, art, and health sciences centres. Stretching along the
northern shore of Lake Ontario, it boasts a great variety of
museums, thriving arts community and a neat coastal development. On
