Driving from Toronto's Bloor street to the Front Street.

Wildfire smoke still blankets large parts of southern Ontario, including Toronto, and conditions may not improve until Friday morning.

Environment Canada’s orange air quality warning continues to be in place Thursday, a day after it was first implemented for the smoke that turned the skies in Canada’s largest city orange.

The smoke from the wildfires in northwestern Ontario plummeted Toronto’s air quality to the worst in the world throughout Wednesday morning.

Downtown Toronto is the city centre of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Located entirely within the boundaries of Old Toronto, it is approximately 16.6 square kilometres (6.4 sq mi) in area, bordered by Bloor Street to the northeast, a Canadian Pacific Railway line to the northwest, Lake Ontario to the south, the Don Valley to the east, and Bathurst Street to the west. It is also the home of the municipal government of Toronto and the Government of Ontario.

The area showcases Canada's largest concentration of skyscrapers and businesses that form Toronto's skyline. Downtown Toronto has the second-most skyscrapers exceeding 200 metres (656 ft) in height of any commercial hub in North America, behind only Midtown Manhattan, New York City.
