Toronto's Stylish and Hip City Centre
By:
Douglas Scott
Toronto is the
countries largest metropolis. It sprawls along the northern
shore of Lake Ontario, its vibrant, appealing centre encased
by a jangle of satellite townships and industrial zones that
cover as Greater Toronto no less than 100 square kilometers.
The City of Toronto encompasses a geographical area formerly
administered by six separate municipalities. These
municipalities have each developed a distinct history and
identity over the years, and their names remain in common
use among Torontonians. Throughout the city there exist
hundreds of small neighborhoods and some larger
neighborhoods covering a few square kilometers. Former
Municipalities include East York, Etobicoke, North York, Old
Toronto, Scarborough, and York.
Toronto’s stylish and hip city centre is full of
cosmopolitan excitement. Experience gourmet food in fine
establishments, ethnic cuisine in authentic restaurants, or
any number of other options available to the discerning
diner. Zip to the top of the world’s tallest building and
free standing structure, the CN Tower, or walk down Yonge
Street and discover cafes, clothing boutiques and little
shops. Visit a spa in the midst of the city and emerge
rejuvenated and refreshed.
When night descends on Toronto, the streets come alive with
dining, theatre, dancing and revelry. Experience world class
theatre, first rate Broadway shows and action packed
professional sports teams, such as the National Hockey
Leagues Toronto Maple Leafs, the National Basketball
Associations Toronto Raptors and the Canadian Football
Leagues Toronto Argonauts. The shopping is renowned designer
stores line Toronto’s fashionable districts, such as
Yorkville, while unique boutiques are just a few blocks away
try Kensington Market or Queen Street West. Diverse cultures
make up Toronto, resulting in a vibrant international
atmosphere.
Summer is the time to celebrate and Toronto is definitely
the city to do it in. You can celebrate your lifestyle, your
culture or even your favorite four legged friend, whether
you love theatre or dance, films, or music there’s a Toronto
festival to celebrate who you are and what you love this
summer.
Toronto’s climate is moderate for Canada due to its
southerly location within the country and its proximity to
Lake Ontario. It has a humid continental climate with warm,
humid summers and generally cold winters, although fairly
mild by Canadian and many northern continental US standards.
The city experiences four distinct seasons with considerable
variance in day to day temperature, particularly during the
colder weather season. Due to urbanization and other factors
Toronto has a fairly low diurnal temperature range, at least
in built up city and lakeshore areas. At different times of
the year, the proximity to Lake Ontario and the other Great
Lakes has various localized and regional impacts on the
climate, including lake effect snow.
