extended urban area in southern Ontario known as the Greater Golden Horseshoe. As of the 2021 census, the city's population was 147,829, while the census metropolitan area had a population of 212,856 residents.

The city is notable for being one of the centres of the 1985 United States–Canada tornado outbreak.
