Old Toronto: Lake Shore Boulevard near Coxwell Avenue
Old Toronto has served as Toronto’s municipal core in Ontario since the city was incorporated in 1834. The junction of Lake Shore Boulevard East and Lower Coxwell Avenue stands near Lake Ontario, where dense east-end neighbourhoods give way to the parkland around Ashbridges Bay. This was once a marshy inlet connected to the lake; harbour works and land reclamation reshaped it during the 20th century. Lake Shore Boulevard is a principal waterfront route linking the central city with Toronto’s eastern lakeshore. Nearby Woodbine Beach and the Martin Goodman Trail place this intersection within the city’s long public waterfront, while its broad roads retain the scale of a major urban transport corridor.

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.
