Hi! Brett here,
For those of you that have just joined us I am counting down my top ten highlights, icons and memories of Canada, specifically Ontario. The number seven position goes to Toronto!
SEVEN
Toronto is Ontario's Capital and the largest city in Canada. It is an hours drive south of our home town of Barrie. Toronto is known to be a vibrant, energetic and diverse city swelling with art, music, sport and multiculturalism. Many blockbuster movies are filmed in Toronto and then passed off as other cities. The restaurants are fantastic, the shopping is great and the overall vibe is one of excitement.
Some of the major attractions that we have visited include the CN tower, Toronto Zoo, Hockey Hall of Fame, Royal Ontario Museum and Casa Loma. We rocked out to Bon Jovi, Daughtry, Matchbox Twenty and Alanis Morrisette at the Air Canada Center. Took in the Dirty Dancing stage show and attended the Second City comedy club where the likes of Mike Myers, John Belushi, Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd and John Candy started there careers.
The TTC subway is a fantastic facility and can take you safely to wherever you wish to go within the city. Toronto is one of the safest cities in North America and you can ride the underground subway and not see any vandalism, violence, garbage or transit guards!
The one thing about Toronto that wasn't a highlight but definitely left a memory was seeing such a large amount of homeless people. On nearly every corner of the downtown area you will see someone sleeping or begging for change. They literally roll out their sleeping bags or whatever they have right there on the sidewalk while people step over them on there way to work.
All in all, a great city and the number 7 position in my countdown!
