About Toronto

Toronto is Canada's largest city and its main financial centre, home to the Toronto Stock Exchange and the head offices of the country's big banks along Bay Street. Sitting on the shore of Lake Ontario and recognisable by the CN Tower, it is also a major hub for film, technology and higher education.

The city follows Eastern Time, EST at UTC-5 in winter and EDT at UTC-4 once clocks go forward in spring. Toronto keeps exactly the same time as New York, Ottawa and Montreal, which makes cross-border scheduling simple. Canada stretches across six time zones, though, so Vancouver is three hours behind Toronto and Halifax one hour ahead.
