Tay Valley: Highway 7 at County Road 511, Looking Down
Formed around the Tay River watershed, Tay Valley developed into a broad rural township of hamlets, farms, forests and lakes in eastern Ontario. The Tay flows east through this area to Perth, where it joins the Rideau Canal; Bobs Lake and Christie Lake are among the waters that shape the township’s recreation and cottage country. The terrain marks a transition toward the Canadian Shield, with exposed rock, mixed woodland and cultivated fields sharing the landscape. Tay Valley was incorporated in 1998 through the amalgamation of historic townships, yet communities such as Glen Tay and Maberly retain distinct local identities. The Rideau Canal, completed in 1832 as a military waterway between Ottawa and Lake Ontario, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Tay Valley has served as a rural municipality in eastern Ontario’s Lanark County since 2001. Its wooded terrain is shaped by the Tay River and a network of lakes associated with the Rideau watershed, creating a distinctly Canadian Shield setting of granite, forest and water. The township surrounds much of the historic town of Perth and includes communities such as Maberly and Fallbrook. Nearby, the Rideau Canal system recalls the early-19th-century water route linking Ottawa and Kingston; it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

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.

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