TORONTO

CULTURE AND EDUCATION IN CONTRAST WITH CAÑAR

IS A FAMOUS LANDMARK, THE 553-

METER CN TOWER, IS ONE OF THE CITY'S

MUST SEE ATTRACTIONS AND ALSO THE

MOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS.

Visitors have the option of simply

appreciating the building from the ground,

or taking a trip up to one of the observation

areas or restaurants for fabulous views of the

city and Lake Ontario.

ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM

The Royal Ontario Museum, known as

the ROM, is one of Canada's premier

museums with an international

reputation for excellence.

It houses an outstanding collection and also

features major exhibitions from around the

world. The museum contains collections

covering a great variety of periods from all

over the world.

ROGERS CENTRE

Immediately adjacent to the CN Tower is Rogers

Centre, a massive domed sports arena. The unique

design includes a roof, which slides back, allowing it

to be opened in favorable weather.

Rogers Centre can accommodate

many thousands of spectators and is a

venue for every kind of sport, baseball

and football in particular, as well as for

rock and pop concerts.

ART GALLERY OF ONTARIO

The renowned Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO)

occupies a unique looking modern building on

the west side of the city center. A whole series

of temporary exhibitions are mounted

throughout the year by this exceptionally well

endowed gallery.

Highlights include the collections of Canadian,

African and Oceanic, and European art. The

museum also holds a particularly impressive

collection of Canadian paintings.

CASA LOMA

Standing in beautifully kept grounds,

Casa Loma is an extraordinary building

somewhat reminiscent of a medieval

castle.

With close to 100 rooms, including three dozen

bathrooms, the house is now a museum. Visitors

can take a look back in time to a period of

European elegance and splendor.

TORONTO’S WINTER TRADITIONS

-Cavalcade of Lights

-Polar Bear Dip

-Maple Syrup

-Tobogganing

-Skating

CAVALCADE OF LIGHTS

The Cavalcades of Lights

celebration officially kicks

off the spirit of the season in

Toronto.

For almost 50 years, thousands of

Torontonians have flocked to City

Hall in November to see the

illumination of this 50-foot tree.

POLAR BEAR DIP

Hang up that snowsuit and dust

off the bikini! Every year on

January 1st, Torontonians strip

away the layers for a jump into

Lake Ontario.

The Toronto Polar Bear Dip has been an

annual tradition at Sunnyside Beach for

almost 15 years but it’s not just to get rid

of our New Year’s Eve hangovers

MAPLE SYRUPJust a few minutes from

downtown, Black Creek Pioneer

Village is Toronto’s largest outdoor

living history museum and it is an

especially nostalgic tradition for

families during March Break

The maple syrup festival takes place in a re-

created village from the 1860s. It’s a unique

experience of what it was like to live in rural

Ontario complete with Victorian costumes, horse-

drawn wagon rides, and sugar bushes where you

can learn to boil real sap in a traditional syrup

cauldron just like our early settlers once did

TOBOGGANING

Centrally located, Christie Pits and

Trinity Bellwoods offer a variety of hills

from beginner to more advanced. Just

south of the city, all the tobogganing

action is at Riverdale Park

Here you’ll get traditionally

straight slopes and some of the

best views of city every time you

climb to the top.

What kind of food dish is Toronto,

Canada famous for?

Peameal bacon is a uniquely Canadian

thing, it's cured bacon made from the

pork loin rather than the belly.

The canonical version of this dish is served by

the Carousel Bakery in the St. Lawrence

Market in Downtown Toronto, thick cut slices

of peameal bacon, fried on a griddle and

served on a soft kaiser roll, the traditional

condiment for this is stuff called "Russian

Honey Mustard"

EDUCATION IN TORONTO

•Education is generally divided into primary

education, secondary education and post-

secondary.

•Education in Canada is a state-run system of

public education provided, funded and

overseen by federal, provincial, and local

governments. Education is within provincial

jurisdiction and the curriculum is overseen by

the province.

LEVELS OF EDUCATION

•Kindergarten (ages 5–6)

Full-day kindergarten is the next step

in our plan to help our kids get a

better education in kindergarten

through Grade 3. It helps kids get the

best possible start

During the regular school day, children are involved in many different kinds of activities designed to help young learners explore, discover and grow.

Students go from primary to secondary school

between grades 6 and 8, depending on the

province or territory. Students who successfullycomplete secondary school get a high school

diploma.

The school year usually begins at the end of

August and finishes toward the end of June.

•Primary and secondary education (ages 7–18)

It is up to parents to choose the

type of schooling for their

children. Parents can choose to

send their children to free

public schools or pay to send

them to private schools. In

many areas, parents can

choose between English and

French school options. Parents

also have the right to educate

children at home, rather than in

a school. For more information,

contact the ministry responsible

for education in your province
