Where diversity shines
Ontario has many sides to it — from the energetic urban life of Toronto and Ottawa, to the wilds of the Great Lakes and Northern Ontario. Here, you’ll discover an abundance of restaurants reflective of the region’s diverse cultures, captivating galleries and museums, and countless hiking trails that offer a respite from everyday life.
Ontario comes from the Iroquois word, kanadario, which translates into sparkling water — fitting for a province with over 250,000 glistening lakes. Indigenous Peoples have called the land home for generations beyond measure, and it is home to the largest Indigenous population in Canada, including 133 First Nations communities.
Follow in the footsteps of the Anishinaabe First Nations on ancient hiking trials in Manitoulin Island, the world’s largest freshwater island. Attend a pow wow celebrating Indigenous cultures through dance, food and music, like the Akwesasne International Pow Wow on Cornwall Island. Be sure to make a visit to Petroglyphs Provincial Park, home to the largest concentration of Indigenous rock art in Canada. There’s no better way to experience the province than through the lens of those who inhabited it first.
