I don't mean to be overly critical, but the Perimeter Institute is in
Waterloo, not in Toronto. Waterloo Region is also called Canada's
Technology Triangle. Some famous companies in the area include Research
in Motion and OpenText. Of course, there's also the University of
Waterloo, with its School of Computer Science named after Stanford's
David R. Cheriton.
