When my sister married a Canadian and moved to Toronto in the mid-90s, I was tickled by the cultural differences she reported. "Milk comes in bags!" she told me excitedly. "Canadian bacon is called peameal bacon! People eat French fries with cheese curds and gravy!" (Can you tell we talk a lot about food?)

The longer she's lived there, however, and the more time I've spent visiting her adopted city, the more I've discovered how adventurous a town Toronto truly is, full of cutting-edge art, food and diverse communal experiences.
