Learn More About Ontario

The name "Ontario" comes from a native word, possibly "Onitariio" or "Kanadario", loosely translated as "beautiful" or "sparkling" water or lake. It is a central Canadian province that is home to more than 12 million people from all corners of the world. Ontario is massive, diverse and gifted with a wealth of resources and experiences - 250,000 sparkling lakes, thousands of kilometers of rivers, towering forests, vibrant cities, charming towns and terrain that varies from the rocky rugged Canadian Shield to gently rolling farmland.
