| Toronto, on the north shore of Lake Ontario, is the
largest of Canada's vibrant urban centers. It is the hub of the nation's
commercial, financial, industrial, and cultural life, and is the capital
of the Province of Ontario.
People have lived here since shortly after the last ice age, although the urban community only dates to 1793 when British colonial officials founded the 'Town of York' on what then was the Upper Canadian frontier. That backwoods village grew to become the 'City of Toronto' in 1834, and through its subsequent evolution and expansion Toronto has emerged as one of the most livable and multicultural urban places in the world today |

In Winter of 2002 I landed at Toronto on a cold evening and saw
snowfall for the first time in my life!!! It was fun :) Again it was a work related trip... Stayed at Wyndham Bristol Place, very close to the Airport. From the room, one can see the planes parked, landing & taking off. It was snow all over...... |
