Why we love EC Toronto
Get the best view of the city with a trip up CN Tower or explore the Yonge & Eglinton area right next to the school full of shops and restaurants. Of course, you have to check out a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game while you’re here, or even try out Canada’s favourite sport: hockey!
On the weekend see the iconic Niagara Falls or take a trip to New York City or Montreal.
