Ontario

Ontario is a Province of Canada located in the east-central part of Canada and is the largest Provine by population
and the second largest after Quebec by geography. The province is named after Lake Ontario, which is thought to have been
derived from Ontarí:io, a Huron (Wyandot) word meaning "great lake", or possibly skanadario which means "beautiful water" in the Iroquoian languages. Ontario contains about 250,000 freshwater lakes. Lake Superior is the largest Great Lake which reaches from Thunder Bay in the West to Sault Ste. Marie in the East.
