Long
before it was the massive centre it is today, Toronto, Huron for
'meeting place', was an important trading hub. Still living up
to its name, Canada's largest city is a meeting place of more
than 100 diverse cultures. Situated along the northern shore of
Lake Ontario, Toronto mirrors New York City and consists of what
was once five separate cities. The area was annexed into the City
of Toronto in 1998, but the areas are still often referred to
by their former names and maintain a unique flavor. The Harbourfront
is a popular area in Toronto, home to entertainment venues, a
lakeside walking trail and more. The celebrated CN Tower also
beckons you to take the elevator ride to the top of this 1,815
ft building and look down to the street through a glass floor.
Niagara Falls, is just as spectacular. The American Falls are
higher but not as wide as the Canadian Falls. Bridal Veil Falls
are in Niagara Falls, NY, and are located between Luna and Goat
Islands. It is possible to take a pedestrian bridge across the
waters to Goat Island to the Cave of the Winds. Niagara Falls,
NY, is also home to the Aquarium of Niagara with an extensive
range of over 1500 marine creatures. On any trip to Niagara Falls,
a boat trip on the Maid of the Mist is a must. Another impressive
place for your students to visit is the Niagara Power Project
Visitor Center.
