 Toronto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The City of Toronto covers an area of 641 km² (247 square miles) and is bounded by Lake Ontario to the south, Etobicoke Creek and Highway 427 to the west, Steeles Avenue to the north, and the Rouge River to the east.
Toronto is the core of support for liberal causes like same-sex marriage and interventionist policies such as gun control in Ontario (and Canada), which puts it at odds sometimes with the rural and suburban areas, and even the rest of Canada (excluding Quebec) which are far more conservative.
Toronto's climate is moderated by Lake Ontario; its climate is among the mildest in Canada east of the Rocky Mountain range.

The Centre's roots go back to the mid nineteen eighties and the King Bay Chaplaincy, which operated from rented premises in the Toronto Dominion Centre in the midst of Toronto's financial district.

Toronto is no stranger to having its built icons created by non-Torontonians — City Hall, the Toronto-Dominion Centre and now the Royal Ontario Museum.
Worn out, dysfunctional, often abandoned, buildings across Canada are being reused: warehouses/factories as condos, office space and restaurants, bank branches as stores, old movie theatres as entertainment centres, even an old industrial gas plant as a police station.
The completed projects, dealt with in two vastly different ways, reach the same conclusion: a much more livable environment for their occupants.
