| Toronto, Ontario |
|
Situated 566 feet above sea level on the northern shore of
Lake Ontario, Toronto is one of the southernmost cities in Canada, with nearly
the same latitude as northern California. Toronto is Canada's largest city
with one-quarter of the country's population within a 100 mile (160 km)
radius. Toronto is the fifth-largest city in North America after Mexico City,
New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. More than 60% of the population of the U.S.
is a mere 90-minute flight away so it's hard to believe that you haven't
already been there.
