St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands: Lake Shore Boulevard near Cherry Street (1)
Old Toronto straddles the Don River in Ontario, and its position between the river valley and Lake Ontario made this area a long-standing corridor for transport and industry. The lower Don reaches the waterfront immediately east of downtown, where the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway form one of the city’s principal road connections. This infrastructure-heavy edge lies close to the Distillery District, a preserved complex of 19th-century industrial buildings that once housed the Gooderham and Worts distillery. West of the river is the civic and commercial heart of Canada’s largest city, while the Don Valley carries routes toward eastern neighbourhoods and the wider Greater 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.
