===Origin/meaning=== | |||
Toronto City Hall is a well recognized landmark and meeting place. The word TORONTO is of Canadian Indian origin and is tanken to mean meeting place. This stems from the early importance of the settlement of Fort York as an outpost of the fur trade and as a secure refuge from the Indians of the 18th century North American wilderness. As applied to Canadian Forces Base Toronto, the word is most appropriate since records indicate that a large number of visits to Metropolitan Toronto are coordinated by the base and its lodger units. | |||
The Motto translates as "Thus we labour but not for ourselves". | |||
