加拿大留学指南（偏多伦多地区）
The climate in Ontario is characterized by four seasons: summer, fall, winter and spring. Each season brings frequent and abrupt changes in temperature. As a result we suggest a variety of clothing items to accommodate the fluctuations in temperature.
The temperature ranges from up to 34C during the summer to occasional lows of -20C in the winter.
Make sure to check  for comprehensive weather information before your departure so that you are dressed comfortably for your arrival to Canada. 
Most Canadian students wear jeans, shirts, sweaters and sweatshirts to school. Although, shorts are permitted in the school environment, short-shorts, low-cut tops and other revealing articles of clothing are not permitted. If you arrive at school with inappropriate attire, parents or custodians may be contacted and you will be sent home.
