  Welcome to Ontario
Ontario is the most populous and second-largest in area of Canada's ten provinces.
Ontario's right to Northwestern Ontario was determined by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in 1884 and confirmed by the Canada (Ontario Boundary) Act, 1889 of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Ontario is bounded on the north by Hudson Bay and James Bay, on the east by Quebec, on the west by Manitoba, and on the south by the American states of Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.

 Plain Living in Osgoode Township
The former Township of Osgoode (Ward 20, City of Ottawa, as of January 1, 2000) was one of the last areas in Ontario to be surveyed, and subsequently, one of the last regions to be opened for settlement.
In early records, Osgoode Township was referred to as "impenetrable swamp", much of the land being near perfectly flat, forest covered, and crisscrossed by the three branches of the Castor River.
Needless to say, too much water in the township has been a serious problem in the past, and to this day, drainage remains to be a major concern; however, the lack of a potable water supply to property owners is just as serious.

 Sewer History: Articles
In 1882 a select committee of the Ontario legislature found that in three-quarters of the eighty municipalities that responded to its inquiries the water supply was being polluted by privies.
A similar controversy erupted elsewhere, when, in 1908, the Township of Guelph, having lost patience with the City of Guelph's inattention to contamination of the River Speed, resorted to measures under the Public Health Act to have the nuisance abated through the construction of a filtration bed.
As examples from numerous Ontario communities demonstrated, the common road up to court was beset with obstacles and hard on the feet of those who trod it in the hope of safeguarding water quality or controlling sewage nuisances.

The flag used by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario (LAO) is derived from the Coat of Arms of the LAO and as far as I am able to assess, it is very close to being a banner of arms.
(4) The device of the crossed maces with the Ontario provincial crest superimposed upon it is centred in the middle of the flag and the mace on the left is of a different design at both the top and the bottom to that on the right.
I have been unable to find any record of the reason for this, although there are at least seven documents in the Assembly's library catalogue which if consulted would no doubt reveal the answer.
