Oshawa: Highway 407 Near Thornton Road
Toronto sits on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario in Ontario, Canada, where the waterfront metropolis extends from its historic core toward major expressway corridors. The Gardiner Expressway follows the city’s southern edge as a principal east–west route; near Highway 427 and The East Mall, it serves industrial and commercial districts west of downtown. Lake Ontario has shaped Toronto’s growth since the site became the Town of York in 1793. Today, Canada’s largest city combines dense high-rise districts with long-established neighbourhoods and communities from around the world. The Gardiner Expressway is named for Frederick G. Gardiner, chair of the former Metropolitan Toronto government during its construction.

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.
