Cavan-Monaghan: Highway 115 near Tapley Quarter Line, Looking Down
Few places in Ontario have a history as closely tied to transportation corridors as Pickering. The city lies on Lake Ontario’s north shore, east of Toronto, and Highway 401 runs through its built-up core as one of the Greater Toronto Area’s principal east–west routes. Brock Road is a major north–south artery, connecting the 401 corridor with neighbourhoods and employment areas. Pickering’s growth accelerated with postwar suburban development and the arrival of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, whose first units entered service in 1971. Away from the expressway, the waterfront includes Frenchman’s Bay and the city borders the rural landscapes of Durham Region.

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.
