\n

More than two million people call Toronto home, making it Canada\u2019s largest city and one of North America\u2019s biggest in terms of population. But what makes it one of the world\u2019s most liveable cities? In fact, it placed fourth in both 2010 and 2015 in the Economist Intelligence Unit\u2019s annual liveable cities list.<\/p>\n

Take a closer look at the vibrant and diverse city, as it offers its residents so much more than a handsome CN Tower\u2013adorned skyline.<\/p>\n

Bikeshare Toronto<\/a> makes commuter bikes available for those looking to get around on two wheels, and being a city of neighbourhoods, it’s often simple to get around on foot to get what you need.<\/p>\n

Great Parks and Public Spaces<\/h2>\n

With millions being invested to improve the city\u2019s waterfront<\/a>, the city recognizes the importance of beautiful spaces. High Park<\/a>, Centennial Park<\/a>, Queen\u2019s Park<\/a>, and the Toronto Islands<\/a> offer spectacular views and fun activities including hiking trails, sports facilities, and park conservatories, to name just a few.<\/p>\n

\"Downtown

A large outdoor plaza, Nathan Phillips Square hosts concerts, art displays, farmers\u2019 markets, and festivals, and serves as an ice rink<\/a> during the winter. Yonge-Dundas Square<\/a> is an always bustling spot that continually runs many free film screenings, concerts, and other special events.<\/p>\n

Excellent Literary Resources<\/h2>\n
