What Is Northern Ontario?

Canada currently has a highly developed economy in which the different regions contribute to it in different ways. However, if the regions were to separate, their economies may be difficult to develop and sustain. For example in Atlantic Canada, their distinct region is located beside the Atlantic Ocean, which makes their economy heavily reliant on the fishery

Snow tends to fall, melt, and fall again quite often. Northern Ontario on the other hand, has a short, dry, and hot summer period. Winter is long, with frigid temperatures in the minus forties. It is not unusual for snow to fall in October and melt June. Southern Ontario is known for its tourist attractions (like Niagara Falls), professional hockey teams, polluted air, and starless sky. Northern Ontario is known for its vast wilderness, professional hockey players (like the Staal brothers), clean air, and star-filled sky. Southern Ontario is a land of opportunity. It is a place where people from all walks of life congregate to experience the wonders of the South and the rush of city life. Northern Ontario is the Land of the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights. It is the Great White North, a rugged wilderness where one can enjoy and appreciate the peace and tranquility of Mother Nature. There is a division in Ontario that one can count in number, feel in climate, and see in attraction. Southern Ontario is a Mecca of civilization; Northern

The economy of the province of Ontario is the largest in Canada and is rich and diversified. Ontario’s main international export is from the automotive sector with more than 30 % of all its exports. Even though we rarely hear about it in the news; Ontario, of all Canadian provinces, also has the largest base of Office Furniture Manufacturers. Ontario also hosts many generic pharmaceutical companies and defense related industries.

The Hudson bay/Arctic Lowland is an area around the south western shore of Hudson bay and James bay, which is a very flat, low area covered by swampy forests. the waters of the Hudson bay covered much of this Lowland at the end of the last ice age. The Arctic Lowland is made up of a series of island located in the far north of Canada, and has gently rolling landscape. The Arctic Lowlands have harsh climate which means its not good land for farming, the ground remains frozen for most of the year. In the sedimentary rock from the Palaeozoic era, which formed from the Lowlands contains ignite, oil, and natural gas deposits. In the Lowlands large amounts of limestone is found. The landscape of the Arctic Lowland is mostly ice, snow, rock and a

The population change data in the Northeast Mid-Atlantic region of this map shows that the region has mostly experienced a decline in population. This decline also affects the surrounding Northern regions with few exceptions in states such as Delaware, Virginia and Ohio. This region is the backbone of the manufacturing belt and perhaps the major urban development area in the United States since mid-1800s. Despite having the highest population density at the present day, it has been notable through recent decades that there was significant population movement towards the South and the West. This Sun Belt region has been a major attraction for people in the North due to its richness in amenities. This can be seen in the map as places such as

The Great Lakes is the smallest of all the regions and consists of two parts, but is surprisingly populated. This region is comprised of the very southern parts of Ontario and Quebec. These two portions are separated by the Canadian Shield that extends across the St. Lawrence River all the way to United States. Its landscape is breathtakingly gorgeous consisting large water bodies, mountains, flatlands. The reason this region is so populated, is that it holds some of the majorly known bodies of water, including, Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, and Lake Superior. Much like Interior Plains, this region is made of bedrock formed of sedimentary rock during the Paleozoic era. This bedrock may be seen in an abundant of escarpments.

Canada is the 2nd largest nation on Earth with a total land area of 9,984,670 sq km, and is the largest nation on the North American continent. Although Canada is the second largest country on Earth and the largest in North America, most of Canada's land is part of a rather inhospitable land that is characterized by tundra and arctic features. Consequently, due to Canada's very northern location, most of the Canadian population lives towards the United States border where the most prime locations of land are located. The hospitable land is in the eastern part of the Canadian country is characterized by woodlands and farmland, in this area the widely populated cities of Toronto, Quebec City, Ottawa and Montreal are located here. In the western

Coastal areas in Canada are able generate approximately 37,000 MW (megawatts) or more electricity annually. They are able to do this by harvesting the tidal waves and using devices such as tidal turbines,tidal barrages or tidal fences. These are a variety of methods which allow us to utilize this renewable form of energy with efficiency. Coastal areas harnesses energy when a tidal current or an ocean wave has a vertical or horizontal motion that occurs on one of the tidal devices, which are turbines that can spin. As the turbine spins it produces energy into a generator that's attached to itself, and then the generator converts most of the energy into electricity.The potential gravitational energy caused by the moon, sun and rotation of the earth allow tides to be more frequent and harness a greater amount of energy. This gravitational energy also causes low tides or high tides to occur, which influences the rate in which the water flows into the turbine.

Ontario has it all, freshwater beaches, amazing scenery and lots of city fun. Ontario is a Canadian province, Hudson Bay is north of us and the U.S. is south of us. Toronto is a huge, exciting capital on Lake Ontario, and is home to the CN Tower, High Park, African Lion Safari and more. Ottawa is the national capital. It’s known for its food and drink, scenery, and Canadian History.

In the beginning of the first article, the main focus is on the western provinces that include Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan and how they will increase Canada's economic growth. The western provinces will achieve this economical growth through changes in the oil and housing markets, a prediction made by the Conference Board of Canada. This prediction was made using data collected by the Conference Board of Canada, which also includes a future forecasts of how much economical growth each province will contribute. This includes the western provinces like Alberta which will grow by 3.3 percent next year, followed by 2.3 percent in British Columbia and Saskatchewan. Alberta and Saskatchewan will achieve this by reinvesting in the

The economic factors contribute to the Northwest Territories’ accomplishments. The main industries in the Northwest Territories are tourism and mining. Since the ground has permafrost and is unsuitable for farming and agriculture, we use the land for other resources. The Territories’ most valuable natural resources are minerals. Copper is extracted on the Coppermine River and oil is pumped on the Mackenzie River. Gold and diamonds can also be found in the region. The amount of diamonds makes the Northwest Territories the third largest manufacturer of diamonds in the world. The territory also has silver, cadmium, lead, tungsten, zinc, and nickel. As measured by the GDP, The Northwest Territory’s economy is highly influenced by the global economy. Its workforce currently has the highest average income in Canada and amongst the lowest tax rates in Canada. As of January 2014 the employment rate was 68.4 percent.With its success in industry and increase in population, the Northwest Territories will continue to thrive for a better future.

With Ontario's many lakes, rivers and streams of fresh surface water it will be great for fishing and a source of transportation. 66% of Ontario's land is classified as forested land. Harvested wood is used to make building materials, pulp and paper and a wide range of other value-added products, such as furniture and flooring. Ontario's varied climate and geography support habitat for many mammals and fish, so they would be able to hunt.

This could have major ramifications for the town of Makenzie with respect to population and industry. Prince George is the largest city in the Northern Regions of BC. It boasts a population of approximately 77,000 and has all the amenities of a big city. “Wood drives the local economy, with forestry, plywood manufacture, 12 sawmills and three pulp mills as major employers and customers” (City of Prince George, 2014). Vanderhoof is a smaller town about 100 kilometres outside of Prince George. Its main industries are ranching and Forestry (Gerry, 2014).
