The City of Toronto has a physical area of approximately 630 km² 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.
Located on the northern shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto was originally a term of indeterminate geographical location, designating the approximate area of the future city of Toronto on maps dating to the late 17th and early 18th century.
Toronto also is home to a major orchestra (the Toronto Symphony Orchestra), which performs at Roy Thomson Hall, as well as the Canadian Opera Company, and Tafelmusik, an internationally-known baroque orchestra and chamber choir.

The Edmonton Roadrunners are the American Hockey League affiliate of the Edmonton Oilers that began play in the 2003-04 season.
They were formerly known as the Toronto Roadrunners, and played the 2003-04 season out of Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto.
The NHL team's decision to re-locate its affiliate to Edmonton is an unusual one for a North American professional sports organization, and was likely influenced by the expectation that the 2004 NHL lockout will wipe out the 2004-05 NHL season.
