Link to: RV Rentals in Ontario About the province of Ontario Ontario is Canada's most populous, richest and second-largest province; it stretches from Lake Erie in the south, to Hudson Bay in the north and from the banks of the St Lawrence River in the east to the Manitoba border in the west. The name Ontario, from an Iroquoian word meaning "beautiful lake" or "beautiful water," is apt, since lakes and rivers occupy one-sixth of the province's total area. Two-thirds of the province lies under the Canadian Shield, which covers most of the north. To the south of the Shield lies southern Ontario, where agriculture and 90% of the population are concentrated. Toronto is Canada's largest city and the provincial capital of Ontario, however, the capital of Canada is in the city of Ottawa.
