Ontario

Ontario extends from the Great Lakes to Hudson Bay, encompassing extensive forests, numerous lakes, and both densely populated urban centers and remote wilderness regions.

The province joined the Canadian Confederation on July 1, 1867, marking a transition from its previous status as the Province of Canada West.

The region maintains strong connections with Indigenous traditions through art galleries, museums, and educational centers that present First Nations, Inuit, and Métis heritage.

The province contains multiple national and provincial parks, offering year-round recreational activities such as camping, hiking, skiing, and water sports across different regions.

Northern Ontario sits on the Canadian Shield, a geological formation of ancient bedrock that contains minerals and forms thousands of lakes dating back billions of years.
