Ontario is the second largest of Canada’s ten provinces in area and the largest in terms of population.
Ontario can be divided into three major natural regions: the Canadian Shield (also known as the Laurentian Plateau), which cuts a wide swath across the center of the province; the Hudson Bay Lowlands to the north; and the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands, which form the southernmost region.
Ontario’s size and its location in the northern interior of North America mean that the province’s climate is marked by strong seasonal variations in temperature.
Ontario has great mineral resources, with vast deposits of nickel, copper, and iron ore as well as substantial resources of gold, silver, platinum metals, colbalt, lead, and zinc.
King's College, the first institution of higher education in Ontario, was established by a royal charter in 1827 and became the University of Toronto in 1850.
At Stoney Creek, the Battlefield House Museum and the Battlefield Monument in Battlefield Park commemorate the Battle of Stoney Creek, which took place during the War of 1812.
