The biggest culture and education hub of
Canada, Ontario is the second largest province
in Canada in terms of area. Having derived
its name from an Iroquois term meaning "beautiful
lake", Ontario is also known as the
"Heartland Province".
Every third person in Canada is an Ontarian.
Having a diverse landscape, a number of
large cities, a key financial and business
center of Canada - Toronto, and close proximity
to the United Stated, Ontario has much to
offer those who live in or visit the province.
With a geography varying from rocky terrains and grassy lowlands to the Canadian Shield and an area that is sparsely populated but mineral rich, Ontario has a uniqueness of its own.
In addition to its major cities, which are
bustling metropolitan areas, one of the
biggest highlights of Ontario is its 250,000
plus lakes.
