ONTARIO

Ontario located in East-central Canada, it’s the most populous province in Canada. It is home to nation’s capital city, Ottawa and to one of the most important Canadian cities, Toronto.

English is the official language, but many people speak French too.

As it is a large province, the weather depends on where you are. Usually January is the coldest month of the year, and July is the warmest. Spring is a rainy season in most parts of Ontario, so maybe you want to avoid it when you go.

There are very interesting places and festivals to visit in Ontario:
