Toronto

A blend of lakeside calm and metropolitan energy sums up what Toronto is all about. Morning sun glimmers off glass towers, streetcars hum through tree lined avenues, and neighbourhood bakeries fill the air with the scent of fresh pastries. Along the waterfront, cyclists glide past marinas as sailboats drift in the distance, while markets buzz with maple sweet aromas and seasonal produce. And get ready for the soft pink hues that colour the sky over Lake Ontario when dusk finally arrives.
