Toronto is also consistently rated as one of the world's most livable cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit and the Mercer Quality of Living Survey.

A major scene for theatre and other performing arts, Toronto has more than fifty ballet and dance companies, six opera companies, two symphony orchestras and a host of theatres. Sports are extremely popular with Toronto being the only Canadian city with representation in seven major league sports
