Old Toronto: Lake Shore Boulevard west of British Columbia Road
Old Toronto combines a dense metropolitan core with a broad lakeshore setting in a way that reflects its position on Lake Ontario. Lake Shore Boulevard West runs beside the water through the city’s western waterfront, while the Gardiner Expressway is one of Toronto’s defining elevated road corridors. Parkland and the waterfront trail soften this heavily travelled stretch, linking neighbourhoods to the shore. East of here, downtown Toronto rises around the CN Tower, completed in 1976 and still a defining element of the city’s silhouette. This is an urban edge where transport infrastructure, public green space and Canada’s largest city meet the Great Lakes shore.

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.
