Travel to Ontario ~ Canada Pictures & Information

Niagara Falls, Mississauga, Streetsville, Hamilton

Planning to travel to Ontario Canada? Have a look around first, at pictures of southern Ontario -- see Niagara Falls, Ontario's (and possibly Canada's) biggest natural attraction. The Falls are about an hour's drive from Pearson International airport. You may know it as Toronto International Airport (YYZ) but it's actually part of Mississauga, Ontario. There's also an airport at Hamilton, Ontario, located roughly between Mississauga and Niagara Falls. Hamilton is about a half-hour's drive west from Mississauga; most of Mississauga is a 20-40 minute drive to the Toronto (Pearson) airport. Looking for cheap flights to Ontario?

Winter weather in much of Canada is snow and cold. One week the weather could be sunny and fairly mild in Mississauga, and the next, snowstorms delay flights and make driving difficult (see Canada snow page for Mississauga snow pics).

Summer time weather is hot and humid, especially in southern Ontario, thanks to the Great Lakes. The best time to travel to Ontario to get the best weather, I think, is late Spring (June) or early Fall (September to mid-October).

That's also when students are in school, their parents work, and the parks and attractions can be at their loveliest, like at Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area. In early Spring, you can take in one of the Canada Maple syrup festivals. For general information about Canada click here.
