Toronto
Renowned historian Jane Jacobs called Toronto the "city that works". Rising majestically from the shores of Lake Ontario, Canada's financial hub is both a physical and emotional feast for the eyes. "Work" may remain nearest and dearest in Torontonians' hearts, but culture and entertainment abound in this civilized city. Toronto is the capital of world-class offerings: theatre, sports, shopping, museums and restaurants. They run the gamut from classic to avant-garde and reflect Toronto's celebrated multi-cultural heritage. Here, work inspires play, encouraging innovation and daring daydreams to come true. Visitors and Torontonians all gravitate to the centre of the city where the metropolitan life comes together with all the best the city has to offer. The area's multi-cultural flavour borders the finest Greek, Italian, Thai, and Chinese restaurants.

Toronto rivals Broadway from first night openings to first run movies. It is minutes to the O'Keefe and St. Lawrence Centres, home to musical and theatre performances, and the National Ballet and Canadian Opera Productions. The Pantages and Elgin theatres are just down Yonge Street along with the rest of the theatre and entertainment district. Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey and Toronto Raptors at the Air Canada Centre, Blue Jays Baseball and Argononaut Football in the shadow of the CN tower at the Skydome. Niagara Falls, the Niagara Vineyards, the Niagara Casino and the Shaw and Stratford are all an hour away.

Whether you are bartering at the St. Lawrence Market, exploring the chic boutiques in Yorkville, or enjoying a drink while watching artists at work in the trendy Distillery District , the Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto is in the middle of it all!
