About Host City: Toronto
Toronto is Canada’s largest city and one of the most multicultural cities in the world, where more than 200 languages are spoken and neighborhoods from every corner of the globe exist side by side.
Set along the shores of Lake Ontario, Toronto blends historic architecture, modern skylines, vibrant street life, and expansive waterfront spaces into a city that feels endlessly sketchable. Red-brick warehouses and Victorian buildings share the same streets as soaring glass towers, while streetcars weave through lively neighborhoods filled with cafés, markets, galleries, music, and culture.
The Symposium Hub will be located in the heart of downtown Toronto, within walking distance of many iconic sketching locations including St. Lawrence Market, Nathan Phillips Square, Berczy Park, Union Station, the Distillery District, Sugar Beach, and the waterfront.
Toronto is easy to explore on foot and through its extensive public transit system, including its iconic red streetcars, subways, and buses. The city also offers countless opportunities to sketch daily life: commuters rushing through downtown, friends gathering on patios, musicians performing in public squares, ferries crossing to the Toronto Islands, and quiet moments in tree-lined parks.
From the energy of the Entertainment District to the calm of the lakeshore, Toronto invites visitors to slow down, observe closely, and discover stories in every corner of the city.
Bienvenue à Toronto. We can’t wait to sketch with you.
