3 Toronto: International Fusion of ORL Nursing Consider an international adventure this fall. Attend SOHN s 30th Anniversary Congress and Nursing Symposium in Toronto, Canada ~ September 15-19, 2006 and enjoy a multicultural experience. Toronto is an exciting and entertaining city that has risen to a center of culture, commerce and communications over the past half century. Like New York City, Toronto offers non-stop adventures for SOHN Congress Attendees. To begin your delightful journey, start at the CN Tower, the tallest free-standing structure in the world. From this vantage point, visitors have a breath-taking view of the magnificent skyline and Canadian countryside. Toronto may be famous for its international film festival (September 7-16, 2006) but its theater and performing arts scene continues to receive the spotlight and the highest accolades. Diverse and grand productions showcase at The Royal Alexandria Theater and the sleek Roy Thomson Hall alongside smaller innovative theater houses like The Canon. Toronto theater-goers consistently praise the range and excellence from small troupe performances to blockbuster Broadway shows that come to the city. Canadian Opera Company Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre Famous People Players Dinner Theatre National Ballet of Canada Roy Thomson Hall The Canon Theater The Princess of Wales Theatre The Royal Alexandria Theatre The Second City Toronto is a city filled with quaint neighborhoods, restaurants and cafes, and of course there are plenty of shopping opportunities in the Underground City (PATH), a seven mile subterranean walkway lined with eateries, shops, banks, medical offices and theaters.
