Toronto has come to possess such a scope of urban possibilities that it defies generalisation. Toronto is a city with an identifiable skyline that speaks of skyscrapers and prosperity. But it is also a conglomeration of distinct neighbourhoods and immigrant hubs, and each tells a different story of the people that play a part of the whole. All combined, its temples to sport and religion are sometimes interchangeably grand. Festivals run from film to art, and culture to food. The best of its historic hotels, theatres and concert halls are as iconic as its recognisable streetcars and streetscapes. Then there is the waterfront, bike trails, public gardens, parks and other green spaces. Finally there are the people and public spaces, which run the gamut from famers markets to great restaurants, bars, and more nocturnal gathering places. Award-winning photographer George Fischer turns his lens on every aspect of that rich fabric, and Jacob Richler adds the words that fill in the picture.
