Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in North York, Canada
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.

amazing and a great way to reconnect with our food system. Black Creek is also a very interactive and real way to learn about Canadian history and specifically about the history of the Toronto region. Great way to spend the day with the kids. I can’t recommend this place highly enough! It’s also quite easy to get there by TTC now that they’ve built the new subway extension.

He was a land surveyor who helped map early Toronto. Wanted by the government for participating in the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837, Gibson was forced to flee to the United States where he and his family remained for 11 years. On their return to York County, the Gibsons built this beautiful home and once again became active members of their rural community. Visitors can step back in time and explore this elegant farmhouse. Its serene Georgian-style exterior belies the dramatic lives of the Gibson family. Don't just read about Toronto history - taste it, touch it, hear it and explore it.

The Glendon Campus of York University consists of two parts. About half is the table land above the valley; this is where the buildings are, except for the Procter Field House, which is about two-thirds down to the valley. Most of the buildings are architecturally negligible, but the original Wood mansion, Glendon Hall, is very attractive. At present none of the buildings is open, but the grounds are a very attractive park, with many different kinds of trees and shrubs. The lower half of the campus can be accessed by a one-way road, by a series of steps, and by the Escott Reid Walk, which begins behind the Woof Residence and leads to the valley. The valley itself features tennis courts, a playing field and a very agreeable trail along the West Don. At present it is slippery, but when the spring comes it will be a walk well worth taking.
