Toronto is Canada's largest city, the capital of the province of Ontario, and one of the most cosmopolitan, vibrant, and progressive cities in the world!

Did you know...

... that "Toronto" is the Huron Indian word that means "place of meeting"?

... that Yonge Street, one of the main steets, is the longest street in the world (about 1,200 miles/1,800 km long)?

... that the world's tallest building, the CN Tower (which dominates our skyline), has been identified as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World?

Here are two VERY helpful links to all the things to do and see during the Academy of Management's Annual Meeting in Toronto:

• Tourism Toronto: Places to stay, things to do, dining, groups/meetings, what's hot, and more!
• Toronto.com: Toronto search engine, event finder, the town's yellow pages.

The Academy of Management in 2000 will coincide with Caribana, North America's largest cultural festival. Every year Caribana turns Toronto into a Caribbean  paradise. The festival takes place at various venues throughout Toronto and features an extravagant parade running along the lakefront. It all happens between July 21 and August 7 of 2000, though the festival might end a little earlier than that.

Caribana will most likely add to the pleasure of visiting Toronto, however, it may cause some complications because approximately 1 million people attend the festival, and quite a few come from out of town. Booking flights and sleeping rooms early will definitely give you an advantage! Housing reservations can be secured via  the Toronto Housing Bureau.

You can get more information about Caribana at their own site...
