Ward's Island: Lake Shore Boulevard near Lower Shelbourne (2)
Built around Toronto Harbour on Lake Ontario, Old Toronto grew into the historic core of Canada’s largest city. The Lake Shore Boulevard East and Lower Sherbourne Street corridor forms a busy seam between downtown’s high-rise districts and the waterfront. Above the intersection, the elevated Gardiner Expressway is a defining piece of Toronto’s postwar road infrastructure, carrying traffic beside rail corridors and harbourfront neighbourhoods. Toronto Harbour, protected by the Toronto Islands, has shaped the city’s economy since the nineteenth century and remains an active waterfront. North of here, the St. Lawrence neighbourhood retains the street grid and market traditions of early Toronto, centred on St. Lawrence Market.

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.
