   W: I plan to go to Canada this summer vacation. I heard that you have been there several times. Any places of interest that you could recommend to me?
   M: Well, you must visit the Art Gallery of Ontario, because it is the best art gallery in Ontario and is ranked as one of the biggest galleries in North America.
   W: I see. Then what impressed you most there?

In addition to display galleries, the structure houses an extensive library, student spaces,gallery workshop space, artist-in-residence, a high-end restaurant,café,espresso bar, research center,theatre and lecture hall, a gift shop,and an event space called the Baillie Court, which occupies the entirety of the third floor.
   W: Sounds amazing! I must visit there then! And have you been to Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal?
   M: Yes! It was the biggest church in North America when it opened in 1830. Visitors to Canada should not miss that!
   W: Why?
   M: Well, the church is famous for its architectural style all over the world. It follows the Gothic style. And it is also noted for its religious theme, which is represented in the form of the Holy Trinity through decorative details.
   W: So have I heard! And the interior of its chapel was inspired by the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris.
   M: Sure. One more thing that you should not miss in Canada is the University of Toronto.

   M: Yes. It was founded by a royal charter in 1827 as King’s College.
   W: Wow! It surely has a very long history. But do you happen to know its curricula? I may consider taking my postgraduate courses there.

And the university was also the birthplace of insulin and stem cell research. By a significant margin, it receives the most annual scientific research funding of any Canadian university.
