Toronto

Toronto is the capital city of the province of Ontario and the largest city in Canada by population, with around 3 millions of residents (but the Toronto census metropolitan area (CMA), the majority of which is within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), has a population of around 6 millions. Toronto is the anchor of an urban agglomeration, known as the Golden Horseshoe. Toronto is a centre of business, finance, arts, and culture, and is recognized as one of the most multicultural and cosmopolitan cities in the world.

Indigenous peoples have travelled through and inhabited the Toronto area, situated on a broad sloping plateau interspersed with rivers, deep ravines, and urban forest, for more than 10,000 years.The British established the town of York in 1793, which was renamed and incorporated as the city of Toronto in 1834, and became the capital of the province of Ontario during Canadian Confederation in 1867.

The diverse population of Toronto reflects its current and historical role as an important destination for immigrants to Canada, with over 50 percent of residents belonging to a visible minority population group, and over 200 distinct ethnic origins represented among its inhabitants.While the majority of Torontonians speak English as their primary language, over 160 languages are spoken in the city.
