Why you'd want to live in Toronto

Location and Climate Toronto is Canada’s largest city and is North America’s fifth most populous municipality – with a population of 2.7 million people. The Greater Toronto Area, usually called the GTA is home to 6 million people. Canada’s government expects the GTA’s population will reach 7.7 million by 2025. Toronto sits in Southern Ontario’s ‘Golden Horseshoe’: 8 million people – over one-quarter of Canada’s total population – live in this densely populated region. The city lies on largely flat land, with little in the way of hills. Toronto’s latitude – 43 degrees north – is similar to Bordeaux, France and – in the southern hemisphere – Christchurch, New Zealand. Although Toronto’s climate is partially moderated by its Great Lakes location, it is more extreme than Bordeaux’s and Christchurch’s, with somewhat hotter summers and considerably colder winters. Character Toronto’s motto is “Diversity Our Strength”. Known as one of the world’s most multi-cultural cities, Toronto prides itself on its wide range of cultures, languages, food and arts. Almost half of its population are immigrants. via Living in Canada
