Ontario at a Glance
One of Canada's most populated
provinces, Ontario is a prime tourist destination. Ottawa
is the nation's capital and features Parliament
Hill among a wealth of cultural activities. A major Canadian centre, Toronto
is home to arts venues, the Stock
Market Place, multicultural neighbourhoods and the CN
Tower, the world's tallest land-based freestanding structure. Wasaga Beach and Barrie are both less than two hours away by car proving to be popular getaway destinations. Also a short distance from Toronto is the breathtaking, must-see
Niagara
Falls and the theatre festival town of Niagara-on-the-Lake
should not be missed by visitors to the area. The cities of Windsor,
London, Stratford
and Kitchener
in Southwestern Ontario offer an abundance of activities, from the cultural
Stratford
Festival to Kitchener's renowned Oktoberfest.
Northwestern Ontario offers many attractions, both in cities such as Thunder
Bay and in nature reserves such as Quetico
Provincial Park. The pristine waters and forests of Northeastern Ontario
surround the popular get-away destinations of Muskoka
and Parry Sound.
For lovers of the outdoors, Algonquin
Park offers a wide variety of camping, hiking, canoeing and other wilderness
adventures.
