Fields Mini-symposium at Toronto, 11 December 2007
December is beautiful time to visit Toronto,
and offers many opportunities for
cultural activities
(see also toronto.com).
Toronto boasts the third largest theatre community in the English speaking
world, a vibrant array of concerts,
dances, nightclubs, music, museums, bookstores, shopping, and even a
castle.
Recognizable landmarks on the Toronto skyline include the CN tower --- at 553.33m the world's tallest free standing structure --- standing guard over the SkyDome, home of the Toronto BlueJays baseball team, and the world's only stadium with a fully retractable dome. The photo above is taken from Toronto Island, a park and cottage oasis scattered with beaches and picnic sites sheltering Toronto's harbour from Lake Ontario. This pedestrian-only island can be accessed from downtown Toronto by passenger ferry in minutes.
