Wikipedia:WikiProject Ontario

Geography

This project should aim to provide an article about every locality in Ontario. Also, it should aim to provide feature-quality articles on the following cities:

• Toronto
• Ottawa
• Hamilton
• Mississauga
• Windsor
• London
• Kingston
• Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge
• Guelph
• Sudbury
• Thunder Bay
• Oshawa
• Peterborough
• Hastings
• Burlington

Moreover, in-depth coverage of Ontario physical and political geography is desirable. All national and provincial parks, important geophysical areas, and geopolitical regions of value should have high-quality articles. For example:

• Oak Ridges Moraine
• Niagara Escarpment
• Algonquin Park
• Niagara Peninsula
• Great Lakes
• Bay of Quinte

There should also be some emphasis on creating/expanding articles about Northern Ontario and Eastern Ontario topics as well as economics/socio-economics and all of the above for:

• Golden Horseshoe
• Southern Ontario and the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor (Ontario section where it is called the Windsor-Quebec City corridor)
• Greater Toronto Area

Culture

Describing the cultural history and development of Ontario, as well as uniquely Ontarian facets of culture, is important to providing comprehensive coverage of Ontario. To include are:

• Demographics and social information
• Music of Ontario
• Art of Ontario
• Media in Ontario
• Festivals, parades etc.
• Unique events and colleges
• Museums of Ontario
