However, it is one of the biggest attractions of Ontario and one that many people visiting the province include on their itinerary when visiting Toronto. These regions are not a part of Toronto and people living in them would take offence to being called Toronto.įor your consideration, I'm not entirely sure that Niagara Falls is considered to be one of the biggest Toronto's attractions by the general population of the Province of Ontario, of which Toronto is the capital city. GTA describes an area made-up of Toronto and four regional municipalities that surround Toronto. The GTA is not the same as the City of Toronto. In your essay, Toronto is noted as being also known as the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Love the 360° Aerial Panorama of Toronto. The waterfall has highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world and has a vertical drop of more than 165 feet (50 m).

Once a year, businesses in PATH host the world's largest underground sidewalk sale. The approximate 1,200 shops and services, such as photocopy shops and shoe repairs, found in PATH, employ about 5,000 people. In fact, the retail space connected to PATH rivals the West Edmonton Mall in size. According to Guinness World Records, PATH is the largest underground shopping complex with 28 km (17 miles) of shopping arcades. Walking on the streets of Toronto making almost impossible to believe that city has another town (PATH) hidden under the ground. Some people think that Yonge Street still remains the longest street in the world, some people think the claim is false because they say the HW11 is not part of the Yonge Street.
Indeed, the Guinness Book of World Records published Yonge Street's status as the true record until 1999. It remains the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, a signature icon of Toronto's skyline, and a symbol of Canada, attracting more than two million international visitors annually.Īnother record was created by Yonge Street as "the World's Longest Street" 1,896 km (1,178 mi). It held both records for 34 years until the completion of Burj Khalifa and Canton Tower. One o the biggest attractions of the city is the CN Tower standing 553.33 metres (1,815.4 ft) tall, it was completed in 1976, becoming the world's tallest free-standing structure and world's tallest tower at the time. In 1834, York was incorporated as a city and renamed to its present name. The settlement was later established as the Town of York and proclaimed as the new capital of Upper Canada by its lieutenant-governor, John Graves Simcoe. A relatively modern city, Toronto's history dates back to the late-18th century, when its land was first purchased by the British monarchy from the Mississaugas of the New Credit. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. Toronto is not the capital of Canada but it is cultural, entertainment, and financial capital of the nation. Over 140 languages and dialects are spoken here, and just over 30 per cent of Toronto residents speak a language other than English or French at home. With a population of 2.48 million people (5.5 million in the GTA - Greater Toronto Area) is heralded as one of the most multicultural cities in the world and is ranked as the safest large metropolitan area in North America.
In 1998 the rapidly growing Toronto and six other communities are merged to form a new Mega-city, else known as GTA (Greater Toronto Area).
Toronto is the biggest Canadian city and 5th largest city in North America after Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
