South Glengarry: Highway 401 at 4th Line Road, Looking Down

Few communities in eastern Ontario have a history as closely tied to Scottish and Loyalist settlement as South Glengarry. This rural township lies north of the St. Lawrence River, between Cornwall and the Quebec border, within the historic Glengarry County area. Its hamlets and farmland reflect the long-established character of the St. Lawrence lowlands. At St. Raphael's, the stone ruins of a former Catholic church recall one of the region's early Scottish Catholic communities; the church was destroyed by fire in 1970. South Glengarry also belongs to Ontario's eastern borderland, where French- and English-speaking traditions meet.

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.
