Canary District: Don Valley Parkway near Eastern Avenue
The Don River defines the setting of Old Toronto — its lower valley cuts a green, infrastructure-lined corridor through the city’s eastern downtown edge. Here, the Don Valley Parkway and the Eastern Avenue diversion follow a route shaped by the river, rail lines and successive industrial uses. The Don flows into Toronto Harbour on Lake Ontario, linking this part of the city to the waterfront. Opened in 1961, the Don Valley Parkway is a principal north–south expressway. Corktown and the West Don Lands nearby have been transformed from industrial districts into mixed urban neighbourhoods, while the river valley remains a marked break from Toronto’s dense street grid.

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.
