Toronto Welcomes the World to the G20 Toronto Summit Via Satellite

B-roll of Toronto, Canada - a Global Business Hub, Environmental Leader and one of the World's Most Diverse Cities

TORONTO, June 9, 2010 - Toronto will welcome the world to the G20 Toronto Summit on June 26 and
27, 2010. The G20 in Toronto will bring world leaders and international media
to one of the most diverse cities in the world that stands proud as a well
established environmental leader, is the heart of Canada's financial sector,
and enjoys a thriving tourism/convention, arts and cultural scene.

To help media cover the G20 Summit in Toronto, b-roll video of the city
will be distributed via satellite on June 10, 2010 (June 10 & 11 for U.S.
markets). The 10 minute b-roll has footage of the Toronto skyline, waterfront
and world renowned CN Tower, the downtown business core and financial
district, Toronto's diverse neighbourhoods, and aerial views of the city.
Technical details for this download are available below. The b-roll is
available in HD format upon request.

In the weeks leading up to the Summit, the City, Tourism Toronto and
Invest Toronto have worked together to provide opportunities to media to
visit and learn more about what Toronto has to offer. Various tours and
opportunities to meet directly with the city's business, political and other
leaders will give media an excellent vantage point from which to consider
Toronto's leadership role in the world. While media are in Toronto during the
G20 Summit, the City and its tourism and investment partners will also be
available to meet with media and continue highlighting all that the city
offers.

A special website has also been set up for the world's media to quickly
get the information they need about Toronto. Media can visit:
www.g20torontomedia.com. During the G20 media can call +1-416-397-0777
to reach City staff for assistance with information on City programs,
Toronto's business, financial and investment sectors and culture and tourism
matters. Media can also see City staff in the media centre for more
information.

With one of the most stable banking and financial sectors in the world,
Toronto is Canada's largest city and has a population of about 2.6 million
residents that proudly represent more than 100 cultures that speak more than
140 languages. Half of Toronto's residents were born outside of Canada. That
diversity enriches Toronto's neighbourhoods and provides employers a talent
pool with international experience to help them compete in the global
marketplace.

Toronto's downtown office towers are home to many of Canada's leading
companies. Toronto is home to North America's fastest growing financial
services sector, the third-largest stock exchange (the TSX), the
third-largest information and technology centre, and the fourth-largest
biotech centre. Toronto is also considered one of the easiest cities in which
to do business and Toronto's banking industry has been rated the soundest in
the world for two years in a row.

Toronto is also a member of the C40 Group of major international cities
committed to tackling climate change. Toronto Mayor David Miller has been
Chair of the C40 since June 4, 2008.

Toronto's cultural scene has made the city a vibrant, liveable place -
one of North America's best for theatre, ballet, the opera, museums, art
galleries and festivals. Toronto is also home to professional basketball,
soccer, baseball and hockey teams. World renowned attractions include the Art
Gallery of Ontario, the Royal Ontario Museum, the National Ballet of Canada
and the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts (opera). Toronto's major
events include the Toronto International Film Festival, the Jazz Festival,
the Caribana Festival, Pride Week and Nuit Blanche and street festivals and
markets that take place across the city.
