About Toronto
Time Zone
Eastern Time (ET) is five hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). During Daylight Savings Time (DST), March to October, clocks are turned ahead one hour.
Weather
Toronto has nine months of inter and three months of o or skating -- at least that's what it feels like. Although we do experience the four seasons, Toronto has a long winter (about five months, mid-November-mid-April), short spring (mid-April-May) and fall (October-mid-November) and a four-month summer (June-September).
Language
English is the predominant language of Toronto, although both English and French are official languages and most government services are available in either language. But there are also large ethnic populations so those languages are prominent in many neighborhoods. Dual-language street signs can be found in areas such as Chinatown, Little Italy, Little Portugal, and other communities.
No smoking
All bars, billiard and bingo halls, casinos and racetracks are now required to be smoke-free. This is the third and final phase of the City's No Smoking By-law. The first phase required all workplaces to be smoke-free. The second phase required restaurants, dinner theatres and bowling centers to be smoke-free, except in approved designated smoking rooms. Currently, smoking is banned in all public, enclosed places in the province. For more information, or to report a violation of the No Smoking By-law, please call (416) 338-7600 or visit ww.toronto.ca/health .
The minimum legal drinking age in Ontario is 19 years. Bars and restaurants must top serving alcohol by 2 a.m.
