Canadian Provinces — Ontario


Located in East-Central Canada, the province of Ontario is east of Manitoba, west of Quebec, and south of the large Hudson Bay and smaller James Bay. North of the United States of America, Ontario borders the states of Michigan, Minnesota, and New York with only waterways separating Ontario and the states, and borders Ohio and Pennsylvania via Lake Erie. Southern Ontario borders four of the five Great Lakes: Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, and Lake Superior (the largest); the only one that is not bordered by Ontario is Lake Michigan. The Laurentian Plateau, also known as the Canadian Shield, stretches across the province. Ontario is the most populous province in Canada, having the largest city in Canada (Toronto) within its borders. Known for its CN Tower and other attractions, Toronto is the provincial capital of Ontario; it borders Lake Ontario in the southern part of the province. Located in the eastern extension of Ontario by the border with Quebec, Ottawa is Canada's capital. Other cities include Brampton, Hamilton, London, Mississauga, Sudbury, and Thunder Bay. There are several islands in the Great Lakes, including ManitoulinMichipicoten, and the Thousand Islands. Lastly, Ontario's largest national park is Pukaskwa N.P.
