Ontario Country Guide

Ontario is Canada's most populous province, highlighted by the sheer size and energy of its two largest cities (one the federal capital, the other the provincial capital), Ottawa and Toronto. Toronto, in particular, is widely regarded as one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities on the continent, in part due to its huge influx of immigrants. The city has countless galleries, museums and shops, all against the backdrop of both heritage buildings (such as Old City Hall, built in 1899) and innovative modern architecture (such as the CN Tower).

In the wild
The far north and west of Ontario is a largely uninhabited wilderness of lakes, swamps and forests. Throughout Ontario are five national parks and 330 provincial parks. And, surreal as it may seem when compared to the province's urban centres, there are parts of this province where you can see more polar bears than humans.

Niagara and more
Ontario is also a province of water, bordering four of the five 'Great Lakes' of North America. There is also Niagara Falls for those who crave their watery landscapes a little more dramatic; located partly in Ontario (and partly in New York State, USA), the falls provide a snapshot of nature at its most phenomenal.
