Great Toronto Area Albums:

Toronto is the most populous and the largest city of Canada with metropolitan area population of close to six million (near 20% of total population of Canada!). It is located at the southern part of Ontario in the area called golden horseshoe. Toronto is famous for its amazing multicultural atmosphere and its beautiful downtown. It is the capital city of Ontario, which is the most famous and populated province of Canada. After Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, Toronto is the most populous city of north America.

Ontario Nature:

All the great lakes of north America, except lake Michigan, are shared between Ontario and the USA. The existence of these lakes is one of the main reasons behind the uniqueness and beauty of Ontario nature. Ontario has near five months of warm weather, starting from May and lasting until October. While its spring peak during May is amazing, I think the most beautiful season of Ontario is Autumn, which is happening during October and late September.

These lakes are connected to each other and they have the largest source of freshwater on earth. The water at first goes from Lake Superior to Lake Michigan,  Lake Huron and Georgian bay and then from Lake Huron to Lake Erie and later through the Niagara river the water passes to Lake Ontario. Finally through St. Lawrence river, water goes from Lake Ontario to Atlantic ocean.
