Southern Ontario

Below Lake Huron

Southern Ontario is the densely populated region of Ontario province south of Georgian Bay and the French River, containing Toronto, Ottawa, and most of Canada's manufacturing and financial activity.

The term distinguishes this urbanized, temperate zone from the vast, sparsely populated Northern Ontario: She grew up in Southern Ontario but moved to Thunder Bay for work.
