Grand River Country is situated on the southwestern arm of Ontario, bordered by Lake Erie to the south and Lake Ontario to the west. Comprised of cities such as Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, Guelph and Brantford, this area contains a diversity of landscapes, including rolling countrysides, rich farmlands and sloping shorelines. Grand River, the largest river in Southwestern Ontario, flows through the region and is home to a world-class fishery. The area is also rich in varied cultures, intermixing traditional Mennonite communities with modern, bustling cities. Mennonite culture and fare can be enjoyed at Guelph's 170-year-old Farmer's Market. Or experience German culture at the popular annual Oktoberfest in Kitchener-Waterloo. Stroll along the shores of Lake Ontario in Hamilton, Canada's "steel town". Its proximity to the U.S. border and Niagara Falls makes this region of Ontario a truly diverse and spectacular area of Canada.
