Here are some basic facts according to Wikipedia: “Toronto is the center of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the most populous metropolitan area in Canada, and anchors the Golden Horseshoe, a heavily urbanized region that is home to 9.2 million people, or over 26% of the population of Canada. A global city, Toronto is an international center of business, finance, arts, and culture. It is recognized as one of the most multicultural and cosmopolitan cities in the world.”
Toronto – Beyond the Facts
Toronto based moving companies have heard more than just those figures from the many happy families they have relocated to this city.
Known for its diversity, Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world with over 140 languages and dialects being spoken in the city. Not surprising, though, as approximately 49% of Toronto’s population were born outside Canada. Since World War II, when Toronto welcomed millions of immigrants, the city has been home to Italians, Portuguese, Chileans, Greeks, Southeast Asians, Chinese, West Indians, British, and Irish.
A multicultural city, Toronto offers something for everyone: whatever your tastes and interests. No wonder it has consistently been rated as one of the world’s most livable cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit and the Mercer Quality of Living Survey.
Toronto Neighborhoods
Such a large and diverse city obviously has many uniquely-flavored neighborhoods. Here are just a few to whet your appetite:
- The Annex is a student-friendly neighborhood sporting reasonably-priced pizza spots, sushi restaurants, and pubs.
