Old Toronto
Grenadier Pond defines the setting of Old Toronto — on the western side of the former city, its water and the wooded grounds of High Park interrupt a continuous urban fabric of apartment towers, houses and commercial streets. High Park is one of Toronto’s largest public parks, extending around Grenadier Pond with sports grounds, gardens and long-established woodland. The land came to the city through the estate of architect John George Howard, who donated it in 1873 on condition that it remain a public park. This broad green space gives the surrounding west-end neighbourhoods a different rhythm from the central business district while remaining part of Toronto’s dense inner city.

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.
