For you, if you are first time visiting Toronto, you can go the following places that I strongly recommand you to visit: CN tower, the tallest building in Canada. Toronto Zoo, the biggest zoo in Ontario. Queen's Park, there are many exbisions comming up right now. Wonderland, but it's not fully opened yet. Yorkdale shopping centre, just a big shopping centre, or even you can go Downtown Eatons. Pacific Mall(太古广场) the biggest Chinese shopping centre in north america. However, I think BBQ is not a good idea in Toronto, why do not you have a BBQ in Ottawa? It's the same in everywhere across America. Also, once you decide to go, you can always check the price to flight to Toronto, I bought a ticket 5 months ago from Ottawa to Toronto was $15+tax+fuel(with Tango by AirCanada), which is cheaper than take a bus or train, and only take you 40 minutes to reach the place you want. but you can still take a train to Toronto that you will arrive in Toronto at Downtown Union Station, or take a bus(6 hours) arrive at Elizabeth St. terminal(very close to Eaton Centre). If you do not care about spending money in condominium, you can book a hotel online from whatever Holiday Inn or Ramada or even Royal York(why not to have a good sleep while travelling). Those are what I knew about Toronto, since I have been there thousands of times. By the way, if you got more time, you can just take a Coach to Niagara Falls only 118kms south of Toronto. If you have a lisence, you can go to City of Hamilton, there is a Hamilton habour for boating.
