Toronto is clean, safe, and convenient. People walk safely down city streets that are free of litter at all hours of the day and night. The subway system is inexpensive and efficient, and one stop is located just one block from the convention center. Eaton Centre, a spacious shopping mall, is just a 15-minute walk from the SkyDome.
Restaurants abound in the downtown area, and the menus routinely feature vegetarian offerings.
The restaurants range from inexpensive fast-food facilities to elegant fine dining, and most will be adding additional vegetarian choices to their menus for the benefit of session delegates and guests. Within a few blocks of the SkyDome are symphony hall, the Lake Ontario waterfront, an excellent public library, the Toronto Central train station, and almost all of the hotels used by session delegates. Suppose it rains one day during the session. Toronto has a great underground pathway that lets you walk all over downtown and stay out of the elements. Toronto is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world.
