Ontario's 600-plus museums, art galleries and cultural institutions will keep your mind churning long after classes end. They welcome you to Ontario's world-class displays of ceramics, canoes, military memorabilia, aboriginal sites, footwear, Old Masters paintings and avant-garde installations. Many offer student discounts for admission.
Toronto showcases Broadway hits, international dance companies and a host of small theatres. On your time off from classes, you can explore its museums, galleries and theatres, and take a break in one of the many culturally diverse neighbourhoods that showcase goods and services from all over the world.
Outside the big city, you can attend innovative productions in towns and cities throughout the province. Plus, in the summer, you can add outdoor music festivals and theatre productions to your agenda. Ontario features great singers and actors performing in public parks, farm stages and amphitheatres.
Prefer professional sports or playing the game yourself? Ontario's athletes and facilities will keep your heart pounding.
Hockey is one of two national sports in Canada and Ontario is the only province in the country with two professional hockey teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators as well as top rated junior teams like the Hamilton Bull Dogs. Most colleges and universities in the province have inter-university teams as well. So you can be a fan or become a player.
Ontario is also the only province in Canada with a professional basketball team, the Raptors, a professional baseball team, the Blue Jays as well as a professional soccer team, the Toronto FC. There are also two professional football teams, the Hamilton Tiger Cats and the Toronto Argos. Besides hockey, most colleges and universities have a full slate of inter-mural sports like football, soccer, rowing, softball and volleyball to name a few.

Our two largest cities, Toronto and Ottawa, are among the greenest urban centres in the world. Toronto boasts three million trees in its neighborhoods, parks and ravines - plus more than 7,300 hectares of parkland. Ottawa, the capital of Canada, is crisscrossed with bicycle trails, parklands and waterways from its site on the banks of the Ottawa, Rideau and Gatineau Rivers.
Our spectacularly beautiful natural landscape is only a couple of hours away from these big cities by bus, train or car. And if you're studying in one of our smaller cities or towns, our great outdoors is only minutes away.
You can thrill to the thunder of Niagara Falls in the south of the province. Hike in Ontario's vast northland, on rocks polished bare by colossal glaciers thousands of years ago. Canoe for days through our parkland and lakes, with only moose, caribou, loons and other wildlife as your companions. Explore our hundreds of beaches, our spectacular rivers, and the 3,000 kilometers of shoreline around our four Great Lakes. Or drive our thousands of beautiful kilometers of highway.
