Ontario means "beautiful lake" in an Iroquois language, and that`s a good name for a province with 250,000 lakes. It is Canada`s second largest province and has the largest population. 

Ninety percent of Ontario`s people live to the southern part of the province, which is also home to most of Ontario`s agriclture and manufacturing industry.

Two-thirds of Ontario is covered by the canadian shield, an area rich in precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum and other metals such as nickel and copper. 

Four of the five great lakes make up the largest body of fresh water on the planet Earth. The great lakes-St.Lawrance lowland contains much of Ontario`s best farmland, which grows most of Canada`s fruit and vegetables.
