Scarborough: Highway 401 near Meadowvale Road
Glenora is best known within Ontario for the Glenora Ferry, which links Prince Edward County with Adolphustown across Adolphus Reach, part of the Bay of Quinte. Highway 33 passes through this lightly settled community at the county’s northern edge, where mature trees and homes line the two-lane road. The ferry is an important connection between the shores of the reach, saving travellers from a much longer trip around the bay. Highway 33 forms part of the Loyalist Parkway, a route named for the United Empire Loyalists who settled parts of southeastern Ontario after the American Revolution. Glenora’s setting combines a working transport link with the quiet, wooded character of the county’s waterfront communities.

Among Ontario’s urban centres, Scarborough stands out for the Scarborough Bluffs rising above Lake Ontario. Now an eastern district of Toronto, it developed separately as a township and then a city before municipal amalgamation in 1998. The bluffs form an eroding lakeshore escarpment, while the Highland Creek and Rouge River valleys bring ravines and parkland into a densely settled part of the metropolis. Guild Park and Gardens preserves architectural fragments and sculptures rescued from demolished Toronto buildings, giving the district an unusual link to the city’s changing built heritage. The Toronto Zoo near the Rouge Valley is another major local institution. Explore additional webcams nearby to see how Scarborough’s shoreline and ravines fit into the wider Toronto area.

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.
