Ontario is Canada's second-largest, and perhaps best known province. Natural attractions like Niagara Falls and the rugged Muskoka region make Ontario an ideal vacation spot for the entire family. Hiking, biking, boating and camping are popular summertime activities, while winter brings skiing, snowmobiling, winter camping and ice fishing. Early spring is maple syrup season - the tapping of the maple trees brings visitors into the sugar bush for an early taste of sweet treat.
Ontario is home to the nation's capital - Ottawa, a beautiful, historic city where you can enjoy the endless summer festivals or watch daily changing of the guard on Parliament Hill. The provincial capital is Toronto, the largest city in Canada. Toronto hosts a strong artistic and cultural community, along with major league baseball, hockey and basketball. The city's summer roster includes the Canadian National Exhibition, & Caravan - a multicultural food and entertainment festival. |
