Ontario

Ontario is Canada's most populous and second-largest province, home to the Canadian capital city of Ottawa, and Toronto, which is Ontario's capital and Canada's largest city. Ontario is bordered by the province of Quebec to the east, by the Great Lakes and the United States to the south, and by Manitoba to the west.

In 2019, the government of Ontario passed legislation that established the Poet Laureate of Ontario.

The province consists of three main geographical regions:

  • The thinly populated Canadian Shield in the northwestern and central portions, which comprises over half the land area of Ontario. Although this area mostly does not support agriculture, it is rich in minerals and partly covered by the Central and Midwestern Canadian Shield forests, studded with lakes and rivers. Northern Ontario is subdivided into two sub-regions: Northwestern Ontario and Northeastern Ontario.
  • The virtually unpopulated Hudson Bay Lowlands in the extreme north and northeast, mainly swampy and sparsely forested.
  • Southern Ontario which is further sub-divided into four regions: Central Ontario (although not actually the province's geographic centre), Eastern Ontario, Golden Horseshoe and Southwestern Ontario (parts of which were formerly referred to as Western Ontario).
