We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Classical, jazz, pop, opera, and world music are right at home in Koerner Hall. Its high ceiling and first-rate projection and communication technology make it perfect for films, lectures, and educational or corporate conferences. With its layered ribbon of wood forming a floating ceiling canopy, integrating an acoustic reflector, performance lighting, and technical bridges, Koerner Hall provides a dramatic yet intimate ambience between the audience and performers. The spectacular glass lobbies welcome guests to Koerner Hall and offer an extraordinary view of the city.
One of the most successful architecture of merging old with new, in my opinion. The theatre itself is gorgeous and the acoustics superb. Most performers who stepped onto the stage for their first time always commented on the beauty of the space. It is! It is indeed such a perfect theatre; perfect also in size as one can't have a bad seat there. The choice of programming is varied, eclectic, and they offer music for all tastes. I absolutely adore the Royal Conservatory of Music (Koerner Hall).

We were at U of T St. George Campus on Sat, Oct 5, for the 11AM campus tour (signed up online weeks earlier). We registered at Nona Macdonald Visitors Centre and, since we had a few mins to spare, used the washrooms while we waited for the tour to begin (no washroom break during the tour). The lobby was standing room only by the time one student staff made a brief introduction and proceeded to divide the tour participants into smaller groups. Our tour group consisted of 5 prospective students and 9 accompanying family members while third year Civil Engineering student Nicole served as our guide. The general campus tour covered 7 colleges, a library, a sport facility, a dormitory-style residence, an activity centre, a park and more. It is a predominantly outdoor walk—it took us more than 2 hours to cover 3.5 km (we did not even see half of the campus)—so comfy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended. Although we did set foot inside a few building lobbies, we never lingered, sometimes just passing through. The one time we were indoors somewhat longer was at the residence. Here we climbed the stairs to the second floor and walked single file in and out a 2-bed dormitory room while the current student resident held the door open. Overall, it was an informative and interesting tour. Our guide did a great job and her enthusiasm and school pride was obvious. We learned fun facts which would not have been readily known to us if we walked around U of T on our own. We will likely be back another time to leisurely explore the campus grounds and see more of the beautiful architecture.
