Toronto, Canada (929 words) |
 | Toronto (Indian for "meeting place"), capital of the Canadian province of Ontario and the country's leading industrial metropolis, stands on the north-west shore of Lake Ontario bordering Toronto Bay. |
| Toronto's continuing development has already transformed it economically speaking into by far the most important city in Canada, wielding immense financial influence through its concentration of banks and insurance companies and its stock exchange (the fourth largest in North America). |
| Both Toronto's airport and its seaport are of major economic significance, the latter benefiting from its position on the St Lawrence Seaway, the former from being located at an important junction of routes. |
