Destination TORONTO: Attractions & Culture
Toronto's population is cosmopolitan and international, which reflects its role as an important destination for immigrants to Canada. Toronto is one of the world's most diverse cities, as about 49 percent of the population were born outside of Canada. Because of the city's low crime rates, clean environment and generally high standard of living, Toronto is consistently rated as one of the world's most livable cities, and it's a great place to visit.
