My first visit to Ontario was in 1990, to drop in on the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. I’ve returned to the province several times since, and I’ve always been impressed by the friendly people both in the cities and in the surrounding countryside. I admit, however, that there’s much of this province I haven’t yet discovered.
