Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Ontario

For the past week I've been writing about the things this "Lost Canadian" is learning about Canada. Each day I've been writing about one of the Provinces and Territories and today I'm writing about Ontario. Growing up in Michigan, Ontario is the part of Canada I'm most familiar with and the part I've actually visited, so today I'm very happy to let you know about Ontario!

  • Ontario includes the mineral-rich Canadian Shield, a tremendous amount of forests, and more than 250,000 lakes. 
  • It is the second-largest province in Canada and covers more than 415,000 square miles - larger than Spain and France combined.
  • More than one third of Canadians live in Ontario.
  • Ontario is home to 250,000 lakes, which makes up about one-fifth of the world’s freshwater.
