St. Catharines: QEW near Martindale Road
Madoc lies along the Moira River in eastern Ontario, amid the low, wooded terrain at the southern edge of the Canadian Shield. The community stands where Highway 7 meets Highway 62, a road junction linking Hastings County with routes toward Belleville and Bancroft. Gold discovered near Madoc in 1866 triggered Ontario’s first gold rush, and mining remains an important part of the area’s story. Today, the village serves surrounding rural communities with a compact main street, while forests, lakes and scattered settlements extend beyond its centre.

Among the cities of Ontario, St. Catharines stands out for its setting between Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment, with Twelve Mile Creek running through its urban fabric. Often called the Garden City, it is known for its parks, tree-lined neighbourhoods and vineyards across the surrounding Niagara Peninsula. The Welland Canal, linking Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, has long shaped the city’s identity; the St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre beside Lock 3 explores that maritime story. At Port Dalhousie, the creek meets the lake in a historic waterfront district.

First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life.
