City/town information
Toronto is a diverse, multi-cultural city full of all types of food and lifestyles. There is so much to see and explore within the city itself, but even more in the surrounding neighbourhoods that make up the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
We are the little cousin to the "city that never sleeps". There are countless things to do here, some of which include but not limited to sporting events, shows, restaurants, music halls, festivals, markets, among numerous tourist attractions.
There are over 25 hospitals in Toronto, including medical research facilities and teaching schools. The University Health Network is the largest network that governs four of Canada's largest research hospitals located right here in Toronto.

Food scene
The St. Lawrence Market has lots of great local vendors, including good food that is a must try! I would recommend Buster's Sea Cove and Uno Mustachio. You can also pick up some freshly made pasta, freshly baked goods, and fresh meats from local butchers. On the weekends, there are local farmers that sell fresh produce as well!

This is a strip of Greek restaurants, bars, cafes, and pastry shops. Every year in August, they hold the annual Taste of the Danforth here, where there's live music and lots of food stalls!
