Toronto (/təˈrɒntoʊ/, locally /təˈrɒnoʊ/) is the capital city of Ontario, Canada. An urban agglomeration surrounding the western end of Lake Ontario, the city makes up the Golden Horseshoe, which includes the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Toronto spans across a vast area of 630 sq kms (243 sq mi), with a maximum north–south distance of 21 kilometres (13 mi) anda maximum east–west distance of 43 km (27 mi). The waterfront shoreline is 46-kilometre (29 mi) on Lake Ontario’s northwestern shore. The Toronto Islands and Port Lands are also part of Toronto. The border of Toronto is marked by in the south by Lake Ontario, in the western by Marie Curtis Park, Eglinton Avenue and Etobicoke Creek. In the west by Highway 427, in the north by Steeles Ave, and in the east with Rouge River and the Scarborough–Pickering Townline. These borders essentially mean that Toronto is surrounded by Lake Ontario to the south, Mississauga to the west, Vaughan and Markham to the north and Pickering to the east.
Toronto Pearson International Airport (IATA: YYZ), is located just past the city’s western boundary in the suburban city of Mississauga. It is located at 6301 Silver Dart Dr, Mississauga, ON L5P 1B2, Canada. A second airport, Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (IATA: YTZ), is located on the Toronto Islands, southwest of downtown.
