by

Toronto is the capital city of Ontario, the largest contributor to the Canadian economy, and the largest city in Canada by population. Located on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. Toronto anchors the Golden Horseshoe region wrapping Lake Ontario from Toronto to Niagara Falls (totals over 8.5 million residents, about 25% of Canada’s entire population!). One of the largest cities in North America, Toronto is sometimes referred to as the New York City of Canada for its similarities, and popularity as a destination for immigrants.
