The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
Today we mark the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQ+ People. We remember and honour those who were taken and those who remain missing. We are committed to actively supporting healing, justice, and #TruthAndReconciliation. #MMIWG2S
