Canada's second-largest province off ers
visitors a vast range of things to see and do.
Train your zoom lens on polar bears, walrus
and beluga whales on the shore of Hudson
Bay . . . or sway to a concert under the stars
at a huge music festival. Mingle with
crowds or meditate beside a silent lake. Ski,
sail, cycle or shop. Or do it all!
Ontario is home to Canada's capital,
Ottawa. Always a high point on visitors'
lists, the city will be even more of a must-see
in 2017 due to the many events it will host
to celebrate the 150
th
anniversary of Canadian
Confederation—everything from huge
"machines" stalking the streets above
ground to a multimedia experience in a new
underground train station (

ca ). You can also thrill to the Changing of
the Guard ceremony on Parliament Hill
(www.parl.gc.ca
), see dinosaur skeletons at
the Canadian Museum of Nature (www.
nature.ca) and learn about Canada's military
history at the Canadian War Museum (www.
warmuseum.ca).
Leave lots of time to explore Toronto, the
country's largest metropolis (www.seetoronto
now.com). Book early to see world premieres
—and, perhaps, a few Hollywood stars—at the
Toronto International Film Festival (www.
tiff .net). And don't miss the Aga Khan Museum
of Muslim culture (www.agakhanmuseum.
org), the Ontario Science Centre (www.
ontariosciencecentre.ca), the landmark CN
Tower (www.cntower.ca)
and Canada's fi rst
panda cubs—born in October 2015—at the
Toronto Zoo (www.torontozoo.com).
Ottawa and Toronto are just the
beginning of what Ontario has to off er. You
can also tour wineries along Lake Erie, in
Prince Edward County or on the Niagara
Peninsula (
www.winecountryontario.ca). If
outdoor adventure is more your style, camp
in breathtaking Killarney (www.ontario
parks.com/park/killarney), Sleeping Giant
(www.ontarioparks.com/park/sleepinggiant
)
or Algonquin (www.algonquinpark.on.ca
)
provincial parks, or canoe along the Grand
River (www.theheartofontario.com
