Niagara Falls: QEW at Welland River Bridge, Looking Down
Mississauga is best known within Ontario for its Lake Ontario waterfront. The city spreads west of Toronto from the Credit River to a dense network of residential districts, employment areas and major transport routes. Highway 403 is one of the principal east–west arteries through the city, joining the regional road system around Hurontario Street. Mississauga takes its name from the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Port Credit, at the mouth of the Credit River, grew around a 19th-century harbour and retains a distinct lakeside focus. Farther inland, the modern city centre has developed around Square One and a cluster of high-rise buildings.

Niagara Falls has been a tourism centre in Ontario since the 19th century. The city follows the Canadian bank of the Niagara River, where water flows from Lake Erie toward Lake Ontario and drops over Horseshoe Falls on the international border with the United States. The Niagara Parks system maintains a long riverside corridor, while boats from the Canadian side travel close to the base of the cataract. The river has also supplied hydroelectric power for more than a century, helping shape the region’s development. Niagara Falls lies near Ontario’s Niagara wine country and the Niagara Escarpment.

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.
