Toronto – Canada’s Dynamic Metropolis

Most importantly, its central location, along with a host of political policies favoring international trade, places this city with the greatest economic ties to, and influence from, the United States. Toronto is Canada’s banking and financial capital and the home of its principle stock exchange, the Toronto Stock Exchange. Since the second half of the 20th century the city has grown phenomenally, from a rather sedate provincial town—”Toronto the Good”—to a lively, thriving, cosmopolitan metropolitan area.

Toronto is a city with scores of neighborhoods, some of which have identities that have been imposed upon them by realtors, whereas others are of much longer standing and have a more distinctive character. West of the central business district, following Queen Street W, is West Queen West, once a trendy bohemian section, now a more mainstream shopping district. Northeast of this area are two of Toronto’s best-known neighborhoods, Chinatown and Kensington Market, the latter of which features an eclectic mix of shops and restaurants that reflect the city’s multicultural diversity.

Still farther north, beyond the campus of the University of Toronto, is the Annex, a residential area that is home to many students and is the site of a number of attractive 19th-century homes. North of the Annex, on a hill overlooking Davenport Road is Casa Loma, the turreted castlelike mansion built in 1911–14 for $3.5 million (Canadian) by Sir Henry Pellatt. East of the Annex is the fashionable Yorkville-Cumberland boutique shopping area, to the south of which are Queen’s Park and the Ontario parliament building.

To the northeast of Queen’s Park is Rosedale, one of the most attractive residential areas in Toronto. It is an older neighborhood of dignified houses and winding tree-lined streets quite close to the downtown center. South of Rosedale and bounded on the north by St. James Cemetery and on the east by the Don River is Cabbagetown, which takes its name from the cabbages that were once grown on lawns in this neighborhood that is now the site of many beautifully restored vintage residences. Farther south, abutting the Gardiner Expressway, is the Distillery District, where brick-paved pedestrian walkways wind through architecturally significant Victorian-era industrial buildings that house restaurants, shops, and theaters. Immediately to the west, at the core of Old Town Toronto, is the St. Lawrence Market neighborhood, a district of red and yellow brick Georgian structures centered on the historic market building (founded 1803) that gives the area its name.

This phenomenal growth, diverse neighborhoods, and complex urban landscape create unique security challenges. Toronto’s oversized and ever-growing population makes locksmith services difficult to implement across the metropolitan area. With many companies competing for business, specialized locksmith services that understand both traditional security needs and modern technological solutions are essential for this dynamic metropolis.
