Page "Factoid" Paragraph 9

* It is often reported that Toronto was named by UNESCO as the most multicultural city in the world.

Although there have been some reports suggesting that Toronto may be one of the world's most diverse cities ( see Demographics of Toronto ), the United Nations agency has never designated any city as being the most multicultural or diverse.

Nonetheless, the belief in this status persisted for years, even finding its way onto UNESCO's own web site, into the pages of the New York Times and The Economist, and into international media reports in respect of Toronto's two Olympic bids.
