The province of Ontario is situated in an area which could best be described as being north of the Great Lakes. South to north it extends ap-proximately 1,000 miles to Hudson Bay. On the east it is bordered by the province of Quebec, and roughly 1,000 miles to the west, by the pro-vince of Manitoba. The total area of this land mass is somewhat over 400,000 square miles. To put it another way, Ontario is approximately equal in size to the combined areas of the states
