Toronto

Toronto is Canada's largest city and the provincial capital of Ontario. Toronto's population is 2,518,772 (Statistics Canada, 2004); that of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is 5,203,686 (Statistics Canada, 2004). Residents of Toronto are called Torontonians (in French: torontois). The city is part of the Golden Horseshoe region of Ontario--a densely populated region of around 7 million people. Approximately 23% of the Canadian population live within the Golden Horseshoe region, and about one-sixth of all Canadian jobs lie within the city limits.

Known as the "economic engine of Canada", Toronto is considered a beta world city, exerting significant regional, national and often global influence. Toronto is Canada's financial center as well as one of the country's most important cultural, and health sciences centres. It has perhaps the most diversified economies in North America (see Demography below), with the largest concentration of head corporate offices in a variety of fields, the highest concentration of cultural workers and institutions, and the largest arts and culture community in Canada. Indeed, in January 2005, it was designated by the federal government as one of Canada's cultural capitals. It is one of the safest cities to live in North America; its crime rate is lower than that of any major U.S. metropolitan area including Dallas, New York City and Washington, DC, and is one of the lowest in Canada as well. It is ranked as the safest large metropolitan area in North America by Places Rated Almanac.

The current mayor of Toronto is David Miller. His predecessor, and first mayor of the amalgamated city, was Mel Lastman. The last mayor of the old City of Toronto was Barbara Hall.
