As Canada’s largest city, Toronto is a multicultural haven. Of the 5.5 million people in the Greater Toronto Area (Statistics Canada, 2006), 49% are immigrants and 43% are part of a visible minority (predominantly Chinese, South Asian, Black and Filipino). The urban legend that Toronto was designated most multicultural city by the United Nations only highlights Toronto’s reputation as a centre of culture and noteworthy events.

Toronto is home to three of North America's largest festivals: Caribana in July, the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE or “The Ex”) in August/September, and, in November, the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.
