Ontario

Ontario is a study in contrasts.

The varied landscape includes the vast, rocky and mineral-rich Canadian Shield, which separates the fertile farmland in the south and the grassy lowlands of the north.

There are over 250,000 lakes in Ontario -- they make up about one-third of the world’s fresh water.

In summer, temperatures can soar above 30° C (86°F), while in winter they can drop to below -13° C (9°F).

Ontario's industries range from cultivating crops, to mining minerals, to manufacturing automobiles, to designing software and leading-edge technology.

Cultures from around the world thrive and are celebrated in Ontario with festivals such as Caribana (West Indian) and Oktoberfest (German).

Travelers can enjoy the many experiences Ontario has to offer, from a wilderness expedition in the north, to a "shop till you drop into your theatre seat" city excursion.

It’s a Big Place

Even people who live in Ontario can have trouble appreciating the sheer size of this province. Ontario is Canada’s second largest province, covering more than one million square kilometres (415,000 square miles) - an area larger than France and Spain combined. More than 11 million people live in Ontario. If you look at a map of Ontario you will notice that the province is bounded by Quebec on the east, Manitoba on the west, Hudson Bay and James Bay on the north, and the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes on the south.

Ontario’s most northerly communities are close to the same latitude as London, England and Warsaw, Poland. Ontario’s southernmost point of land is Middle Island, in Lake Erie south of Point Pelee, roughly parallel to Barcelona, Spain or Rome, Itally.
