Living in Ontario
People of Ontario - The province consists
of three main geographical regions: the Canadian Shield
in the northwestern and central portions, a mainly infertile
area rich in minerals and studded with lakes and rivers;
the Hudson Bay Lowlands in the northeast, mainly swampy
and forested; and the temperate, and therefore most
populous region, the fertile Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence
Valley in the south where agriculture and industry are
concentrated. The northern extent of the Carolinian
forest zone is found in the southwestern section. The
Saint Lawrence Seaway allows navigation to and from
the Atlantic Ocean as far as Thunder Bay in Northern
Ontario. Northern Ontario occupies 90 per cent of the
surface area of the province; Southern Ontario contains
90 per cent of the population (see article Geography
of Canada).
Point Pelee National Park is a peninsula in southwestern
Ontario (near Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan)
that extends into Lake Erie and is the part of Canada's
mainland furthest south. Pelee Island in Lake Erie is
even further south. Both are south of 42°N and further
south than the northern border of California.
Increasing immigration from all parts of the world,
especially to Toronto and its environs, is rapidly diversifying
the province's ethnic makeup. About five per cent of
the population of Ontario is Franco-Ontarian.
