About Toronto
Toronto, the capital of the province of Ontario, is a major Canadian city along Lake Ontario’s northwestern shore. It's a dynamic metropolis with a core of soaring skyscrapers, all dwarfed by the iconic, free-standing CN Tower. Toronto also has many green spaces, from the orderly oval of Queen’s Park to 400-acre High Park and its trails, sports facilities and zoo. ― Google

Ticketmaster offers partial refunds to The Cure fans
By Mark SavageBBC Music Correspondent
Ticketmaster has offered a partial refund to fans who bought tickets to see The Cure 's upcoming Us Tour .
The Company came Under Fire earlier This Week , when it emerged that, in some cases, the fees added up to More Than the Face Value of The Ticket .
The Cure 's frontman Robert Smith said he was " sickened" by the " debacle" and promised fans answers.
On Thursday night, He Said Ticketmaster agreed the fees had been " unduly high" and would return some of The Money .
As a " gesture of goodwill" The Company will refund $10 (£8) to anyone who bought the lowest-price tickets, which were priced at $20 (£16), He Said .
All other fans will received a $5 refund.
" If you already bought a ticket, you will get an automatic refund, " Smith tweeted. " All tickets on sale tomorrow will incur lower fees. "
The Band are due to embark on their Shows of a Lost World North American tour in May, with the 30-date trek kicking off in New Orleans .
Problems with The Ticket sale emerged on Wednesday, when fans shared screenshots of Ticketmaster's pricing structure.
One customer who bought four $20 (£16. 54) tickets ended up paying $172,10 (£142), after service fees, a facility charge and an order processing fee were added.
Another, who wanted to see The Band in Phoenix, Arizona, paid $72. 25 (£59. 75) for a ticket with the Face Value of $20 (£16. 54).
The fees varied by Venue - One fan reported a $16. 75 (£13. 87) service fee in Massachusetts, while another fan reported $15 (£12. 42) in Toronto - and they didn't always exceed The Base ticket price. Some of the more expensive seats cost $90 (£74. 50) each, for example.
Smith reacted furiously to The News , writing a series of tweets criticising the additional fees.
" To be very clear, The Artist has no way to limit them, " he wrote.
" I have been asking how they are justified. If I get anything coherent by way of an answer, I will let you know, " he promised.
Ticketmaster has not independently confirmed the refund offer. The Bbc has contacted The Company for comment.
