About Ontario

Ontario is Canada’s most populous province and home to the country’s biggest city, Toronto, and its capital, Ottawa. A funny fact about Ontario: it has more than 250,000 lakes—so technically you’re never more than a short drive from water, unless you’re stuck on the 401 highway. With its mix of buzzing city life and endless natural escapes, Ontario is the definition of variety.

The province is a cultural powerhouse, famous for its music, film, and arts scenes. Toronto is a global hub for entertainment and sports, while Ottawa is where you’ll find Canada’s Parliament and national museums. Ontario also celebrates a rich mix of cultures, making it one of the most diverse places in the world.

From the thundering spectacle of Niagara Falls to the rugged beauty of Algonquin Park, Ontario offers adventure for every season—kayaking in summer, vibrant autumn hikes, snowy ski runs, and spring cherry blossoms. It’s a province that thrives on energy, diversity, and a love for both the urban and the outdoors.
