Also, in a special arrangement with the Province of Ontario, the Champlain Society published 16 volumes that are of notable significance to Ontario.
Frost through the Ontario Government for the publication of this series was terminated; henceforward the Champlain Society incorporated the Ontario Series into the General Series.
The organizational meeting of the Champlain Society was held on May 17, 1905, in the board room of the Canadian Bank of Commerce.
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 shares Lake of the Woods, in the southwestern corner of the province, with Manitoba and Minnesota; Lake Saint Clair with Michigan near Detroit; and the broad Ottawa River, which forms about half of Ontario’s border, with the neighboring province of Québec.
