    About this ebook

    From the Toronto Purchase to the Great Toronto Fire, from wet, cold winters to desperately humid summers, and from Maple Leafs' hockey to the rock band Bare Naked Ladies, this comprehensive book is a fascinating reference to all things Toronto. Well-known Torontonians—including filmmaker Atom Egoyan, former Premier Bob Rae, retired professional hockey player Darryl Sittler, and businessman Peter Munk—weigh in on their favorite things about their city. Locals can learn about cool destinations in the city and great places to eat while also learning more about the history, economy, local slang, natural landscapes, and culture just as visitors can discover this Canadian city from a variety of angles through this informative fact book.
