Toronto (IPA: [təˈrɑntoʊ]; locally [tʃəˈrɑːnə]) is the capital city of Ontario, the most populous province of Canada, as well as Canada's most populous city and the centre of the country's most populous metropolitan area (Greater Toronto). With an estimated December 2020 population of 11.32 million, and a metropolitan population estimated at 18.85 million, it has the most populous metropolitan area in Canada.

The city is home to the Toronto Stock Exchange, the headquarters of Canada's five largest banks, and the headquarters of many large Canadian and multinational corporations. Its economy is highly diversified with strengths in technology, design, financial services, life sciences, education, arts, fashion, aerospace, environmental innovation, food services, and tourism. It is also home to the headquarters and a state-of-the-art crime lab of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Ontario's main law enforcement agency, which maintains 20 detachments in Toronto proper and over 50 in Greater Toronto, serving as the city's urban police force.
