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.
