Quality of Life in Toronto
		Graduates from University of Toronto		Quality of life is often defined by one particular thing — low crime, availability of arts, entertainment and leisure activity, access to out-of-doors recreational and wilderness areas, an excellent infrastructure or a great university. A definition containing just one attribute would be far too limiting for a city like Toronto, however. Toronto is not just admired for its health-care and education systems or its rich cultural mosaic. Quality of life in Toronto is not just about its calibre of major league sports, entertainment or cultural offerings. In Toronto, quality of life is about all of these things and more.
