Summary: 

The Turing programming language was developed in 1982-3 at the University of
Toronto by professors R.C. Holt and J.R. Cordy (currently at Queen's 
University, Kingston, Ontario).  Turing is easier to use than BASIC and 
supports a richer set of instructions than Pascal.  It has been the main
teaching language at the University of Toronto since 1983 and has been used
to teach over 10,000 students here and at York University.  It is also used
at a few other universities in various courses.
