This is the province that accounts for bettet than 60 per cent of Canada's trade, the in- dustrial province that ranks tourism as one of its major industries, the province that offers such a bewildering variety to the traveller that only superlatives can handle the description. One gets a glimpse of the splendid sweep of On- tario when one considers that it covers an area over four times the size of the United Kingdom, more than six times the size of the six New England States, almost the size of France, Germany and Italy combined. Its southern-most point is in the same latitude as northern California; its northern boundary is in the sub-Arctic; it embraces the greater part of the St. Lawrence Sea- way system, from the river itself on the east to the head of the Great Lakes in the West. Within this area lie 80,000 square miles of lakes and rivers--more than 500,000 lakes have been named, and there are others that still await recognition, virgin waters where the fish feed without fear of anglers. The traveller, then, can find anything he wants-- and it would take almrost a lifetime of holiday travel to sample every attraction that the province has to offer. Where does one start? One starting point for hundreds of thousands has been Niagara Falls, the traditional spot for honey- mooners. Travellers from outside the province can start there and cross the southern edge of the province to the magnificent Thousand Islands in the St. Lawrence on the east, with four-lane highways providing passage most of the way for those travelling by car. Or one could swing west and north from Niagara Falls, through the lush fields and booming cities of southwestern Ontario towards Sarnia and the Blue- water Highway which leads north along Lake Huron to the Bruce Peninsula and Georgian Bay. From there. one can swing south again past the highly developed Couchiching-Simcoe resort area to Lake Ontario and Visual history: Indian Village at Little Lake Park, Midland
