Add this

#toronto-content {
  white-space: normal;
  overflow: hidden;
}

That's because the amount of text is larger than the div.
I recommend adding overflow:overlay to your style, this will create a vertical scroll bar right next to the content.

If you add overflow:scroll it will create a horizontal scroll-bar even if there's no need for one.

If that's not what you want, you should either add pages when there's too much content (called "pagination") or make a custom vertical scrollbar with Javascript or jQuery.

This will solve your issue:

#toronto-content {
  white-space: normal;
}

But I would consider putting your text into a <p> or <span> tag.
