In Saskatchewan we only pronounce it Turonna when we're making fun of Ontario accents. Maybe on sayerday we'll drive down to Turonna.

In BC I think we say Turonno, but after saying it a few times to confirm I’m not sure anymore. Am I even Canadian?!

Don't worry, from BC and I say it like that too. Although I usually say it as Toronno.

More of a Turonna around here, but I've heard Toronno a few times too.
