ONTARIO - from the Amerindian word Onitariio, or "beautiful lake"
Can't get enough of Ontario's natural beauty?
The summer may be winding down, but that doesn't mean exploring Canada's second largest province has to end. For those of you looking to explore the outdoors, many Ontario parks are open year-round (keep in mind though, that you will have to book ahead if you plan to camp overnight).
Visit the Ontario Parks blog for trip ideas and more information on Parks Canada events.
If you plan to take a last minute trip with the kids before school starts, make sure you consider the places we've featured in our story Visit Ontario: The Beauty Within!
On that note, it's not too late to plan a visit to Algonquin Park yet. If you are just settling into Canada and don’t have reliable transport to get to major parks, don't fret. Parkbus is a new non-profit initiative launched with the goal of making popular Ontario parks accessible by bus from major city centres. Visit the Parkbus website for details on schedules and fares.
