Unorganized North Algoma: Highway 17 near Mamainse Harbour, Looking North
Few places in Ontario have a history as closely tied to the expansion of the Queen Elizabeth Way as the Burlington Skyway. Carrying the QEW over Burlington Bay, this high-level crossing links Hamilton with Burlington and the wider Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. The original bridge opened in 1958; a parallel span was added in 1985 to increase capacity on one of southern Ontario’s principal road corridors. Below is Hamilton Harbour’s industrial waterfront at the western end of Lake Ontario. The elevated crossing bypasses the nearby lift bridge at the harbour entrance, so through traffic is not held up by vessels entering or leaving the harbour. It remains a defining element of the shoreline shared by the two cities.

Built around the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence water system, Ontario grew into Canada’s most populous province. Its vast northern interior lies on the Canadian Shield, a terrain of exposed rock, boreal forest and innumerable lakes, while the south concentrates most cities and farms along the Great Lakes. Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario give the province an exceptional freshwater horizon; Niagara Falls is its best-known natural landmark. Toronto, Ontario’s largest city, is a major cultural and economic centre, while Algonquin Provincial Park, founded in 1893, represents a long tradition of protected wilderness.

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
