Maps of Toronto - JohoMaps Toronto is a global city, exerting significant regional, national, and international influence, and is one of the world's most multicultural and ethnically diverse cities: 41% of the population was born outside of Canada. Toronto is Canada's financial centre and economic engine, as well as one of the country's most important cultural, art, and health sciences centres. The economic growth of Toronto was greatly stimulated by the development of the auto industry and of large mineral resources in its hinterland, and by the completion in 1959 of the St. Lawrence Seaway which allowed ships access to the Great Lakes from the Atlantic Ocean. www.johomaps.com /na/canada/ontario/toronto/maps.html   (983 words)

Toronto Travel Guide | Fodor's Online Toronto is also the home of Canada's largest gay and lesbian community.
