Ontario is the only Canadian province on the north shore of Lake Ontario. There are about 12.5 million people living in Ontario, roughly half of whom live in the Lake Ontario watershed. Three of Canada’s largest cities, including the largest, are on the north shore. Westward from the Bay of Quinte, most of the shoreline is urbanized. Eastward of the Bay of Quinte, the land is a mix of urban, industrial, and rural. The north shore is home to many large manufactoring and energy facilities, including steel plants, cement kilns, and two nuclear power plants.
