I am looking for a beginer outdoor rock climbing place somewhere in toronto or in the area. Is there anything like that ? I am just a beginer so don't really want something hardcore.

Rattlesnake Point
We had 30 mins of training and spent the entire day climbing.

I sent them an email and they you said you need to arrange your own training professionals. I don't know if they have safety people in the area who will look out for you and make sure your partner is belaying properly and all that kind of stuff.
Back to my original question, anyone know of any such places ?

I assume your looking to top rope....
I have never heard of any place (at least near Ottawa) that will have people at a specific outdoor climbing spots setting up climbs, providing equipment (ropes, harnesses, shoes, belaying equipment, etc) and watching beginners belay. I'm not sure if these even exist.
Your best bet is to look for an event, course or hire a guide.
Try looking for posting of events or courses at your local indoor climbing gyms and stores like MEC.
From a quick search on MEC, I found this:
