Provincial capital of Ontario, Toronto is Canada's largest city and fifth largest in North America. A dominant force in business and economy, Toronto is the cultural center of English-speaking Canada. Initially claimed by the French in the eighteenth century, only during the American Revolution of loyal groups of United Empire fled to Toronto. Then known as York City was a predominantly British character, functioning as the administrative center of English Canada. In 1834 the city was renamed Toronto, a Huron Indian word meaning "meeting place".

Toronto nineteenth and twentieth centuries was a city under the law, which makes the rules, which were rarely broken and where the main concern was making money. As a result, Toronto has earned a reputation enclave of Protestantism. Older residents still remember the days when work was stopped in town every Sunday and few restaurants served wine. Late 1950s a new wave of city immigrants brought new foods, new idioms and, most importantly, new attitudes. Italians, Portuguese and Eastern Europeans were the first arrived, followed by immigrants from the Caribbean, Asia and India. They were established in places that would become the city's great ethnic neighborhoods - Greek Quarter, Little Italy and Chinatown. Toronto has increasingly become a multiethnic society, although keeping some vestiges and English pubs and clubs habit of varieties of toast in the name of the Queen before eating.

Architecture and town can see an overlap - at first glance the city seems very different from any other large American city, but a closer look you can see Victorian and Edwardian buildings. Toronto today is an animated and cultural place, with hot summers and cold winters. This is the most important city in Canada economically, a center of finance, media services and hosts more than any other city corporations. At night, the locals provide restaurants, bars and clubs, opera and theater. But above all, the city is characterized by the locals - friendly, efficient and multi-cultural.

Canada City Night

Toronto is Canada's largest city and is home to over five million residents. Toronto is Canada's financial centre, and continues to be the first choice among new Canadian immigrants.

Once known as "Toronto the Good", this city was once a very religious, uptight place that even banned Sunday shopping. The city became somewhat boring & the only time to have fun was a weekend drive to Buffalo New York. Fortunately, over the last 20 or so years, Toronto has been remolded into a sophisticated & multicultural city.

Toronto is not particulary blessed in terms of physical geography, hence the name HogTown. The reason for this nickname is that Toronto (formerly known as York) was once a muddy swamp. The streets used to flood with mud all the time & pigs from the nearby farms would run around & cause a stir. The living situation was not pleasent back then, especially to the Loyalist migrants from the UK.

Everywhere in this city is flatland, as if the pairies have continued East into this region. It looks kind of like Chicago. The only place with more attractive scenary would be the ravines & valleys, but there is nothing really special about them. The waterfront is a wonderful place to explore, especially the Toronto Islands & streches of it that has parks.

Canada City

The City Council approved street improvements for 2011 at the improvement hearings held on January 10, pending the bid prices received from contractors. The City anticipates receiving favorable pricing once again this year as contractors continue to look for work while the economy slowly recovers. The savings might not be quite as significant due to the dramatic rise in fuel prices, but would still be a benefit for all residents of the City as well as residents of the proposed project streets.

Dianna Lane will be fully reconstructed from Reidmond Avenue to the end of the road. The hill from County Road B2 to Reidmond Avenue was reconstructed in 1999 when County Road B2 was improved. Curb and gutter will be added on both sides, but the road will remain intact on the hill. The rest of the road will be reconstructed with curb, gutter, and storm sewer improvements including rain gardens.

The streets scheduled for mill and overlays are Jessica Court, Ontario Road from County Road D south to the cul-de-sac, and Payne Avenue. Those streets will have approximately one to two inches of asphalt milled off of the existing surface and then will receive an asphalt overlay that will restore the crown to the road to improve drainage and provide a smoother driving surface. Sections of concrete curb will be replaced if they have failed.
