Canada's Major
Cities
Toronto
Toronto is the most
populous city in Canada and the provincial capital
of Ontario. With over 2.5 million residents, it
is the fifth most populous municipality in North
America. As Canada's
economic capital, Toronto is considered a global
city and is one of the top financial
centres in the world. Toronto's population is cosmopolitan and international, reflecting its role as an important
destination for immigrants to Canada. Because of the city's low crime
rates, clean environment, high standard
of living, and friendlier attitudes to diversity, Toronto is
consistently rated as one of the world's most livable cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit and the Mercer Quality of Living
Survey.

Montreal
Montreal is the largest city in the Canadian province of Quebec and the second-largest city
in Canada .
Montreal
was the largest city in Canada up until 1976 when it was surpassed in
size by Toronto. Originally called Ville-Marie ('City of Mary'), the city takes its present name
from Mount
Royal, the three-headed
hill at the heart of the city, whose name was also initially given to
the island on which the city is located. The
city is Canada's centre for French language television productions,
radio, theatre, film, multimedia and print publishing. Montreal's many
cultural communities have given it a distinct local culture.

Vancouver
The name Vancouver originates from
the Dutch
"van Coevorden", denoting somebody from (in Dutch: "van") Coevorden, an old city in The Netherlands. Prior to the 1980s, the economy of Vancouver had traditionally relied on British
Columbia's resource sectors: forestry, mining, fishing and agriculture. It has diversified over the past
30 years, however, and today its second largest industry, after forestry, is tourism, and it has become the
third-largest film production centre in North America after Los
Angeles and New
York City, earning it the
nickname Hollywood North. Vancouver is consistently ranked
one of the three most livable cities in theworld.
