Ontario Catherine Haley

The name Ontario is thought to derive from an lroquois word meaning ‘the shining waters', and nothing can better describe the province whose shining waters include so many freshwater ponds, lakes, rivers and streams as well as the many man-made canals and waterways that thread through the countryside. Ontario is Canada’s heartland, for it lies in the middle of that vast country with its western boundary on the broad St Lawrence River. Its northern reaches surround the subarctic Hudson and James Bays and its southern border runs along four of the Great Lakes and the states of Minnesota, Michigan and New York.

Renowned for its great industrial capacity, the province Is also rich in forests and farms as well as the vast mineral wealth of the North and the great hydroelectric and commercial transport systems of the St Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes. The most urbanized of the Canadian provinces, Ontario harbors such cities as Ottawa, the federal capital, Toronto, the intellectual, financial and intellectual center, Kingston, home of the Royal Military Academy and Thunder Bay, the center of the steel industry which stands on the shore of Lake Superior.

But Ontario's real wealth lies outside her cities, not only with the vast mineral resources of the North, but also in the extraordinary range of national and provincial parks - from the birdwatchers’ marshy paradise of Point Pelee, which stretches into Lake Erie, to the frozen treeless tundra of Polar Bear Provincial Park on the shores of Hudson Bay. The vast and diverse land that is Ontario encompasses pleasing extremes — from the cosmopolitan city of Toronto to the primitive and fertila Mennonite farms af Waterloo County, and from the barren landscape near Sudbury to the thousand lakes near Kenora.

Ontario and her people have heen described as a mosaic, each different and separate piece adding to the beauty and harmony that is the whole, and both are captured here in a series of outstanding photographs in full color.
