Ontario is as beautiful as it is vast. As the second largest Canadian province, Ontario spans over a million square km and crosses 2 time zones (Central and Eastern). Ontario is found east of Manitoba, west of Quebec, south of both Hudson and James Bay and directly north of the Great Lakes.

Legendary for its majestic beauty, Ontario boasts multiple types of native trees that cover over 60% of the province in officially classified forested land. Ontario is also famous for outdoor adventure and exploration, with over 10 million visitors flocking to famous parks such as Algonquin Provincial Park, where untamed forests, wetlands and rivers overlap the ranges of the wild woodland caribou. Ontario camping and fishing are also popular attractions, and is also a destination for research, outdoor education and monitoring the environment.

More than just a return to nature, Ontario is an integral component of the North American Free Trade area, contributing trillions of dollars in combined domestic product. In fact, over 700 million dollars across the U.S border every day.

Ontario is also instrumental to the manufacturing success of North America, chiefly in the areas of automotive production, pharmaceuticals and biotech, medical devices and communications technologies. But that’s not Ontario’s only economic impact – almost 80% of Ontario’s workers are employed in the services sector, in key areas like science, financial, business and the arts.
