TITLE: Greetings from Ontario
CAPTION: Ontario Canada’s Province of Contrasts
That beautiful flower of colorful varieties, the Trillium, was suitably chosen as Ontario’s floral emblem in 1937. For enchanting diversity is the great attraction for visitors to the province – for example, the stately Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, Canada’s Capital, or a lonely lighthouse standing sentinel on the shores of the Great Lakes, the thundering cataract of Niagara Falls, or the quiet waters of the famous Locks at Sault Ste. Mari; the dynamism of Toronto refected in its twin-towered City Hall; and the challenging waters of the countless lakes in the great north and northwest.
Greetings from Pakenham, Ontario, Canada
