This project covers the creation and editing of articles related to Ontario, its cities, counties, geography, transportation, culture, history, and so on. It aims to expand Wikipedia's resources on Ontario in a fair and accurate manner.
GeographyEdit
This project should aim to provide an article about every locality in Ontario. Also, it should aim to provide feature-quality articles on the following cities:
- Toronto
- Ottawa
- Hamilton
- Mississauga
- Windsor
- London
- Kingston
- Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge
- Guelph
- Sudbury
- Thunder Bay
- Oshawa
- Peterborough
- Hastings
- Burlington
Moreover, in-depth coverage of Ontario physical and political geography is desirable. All national and provincial parks, important geophysical areas, and geopolitical regions of value should have high-quality articles. For example:
There should also be some emphasis on creating/expanding articles about Northern Ontario and Eastern Ontario topics as well as economics/socio-economics and all of the above for:
- Golden Horseshoe
- Southern Ontario and the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor (Ontario section where it is called the Windsor-Quebec City corridor)
- Greater Toronto Area
CultureEdit
Describing the cultural history and development of Ontario, as well as uniquely Ontarian facets of culture, is important to providing comprehensive coverage of Ontario. To include are:
- Demographics and social information
- Music of Ontario
- Art of Ontario
- Media in Ontario
- Festivals, parades etc.
- Unique events and colleges
- Museums of Ontario

TemplatesEdit
Project bannerEdit
{{WikiProject Canada|on=yes}}
– template to put on Ontario-related talk pages
InfoboxesEdit
- All settlements in Ontario should use {{Infobox Settlement}}. This infobox provides a consistent look between the various types settlements in Ontario like Toronto and Windsor and to settlements in the other parts of Canada like Saskatoon, Montreal, St. John's, and Edmonton. The default "settlement_type" is city, but it can be changed to reflect any type of settlement, like counties, towns, villages, etc. {{Infobox Settlement}} also has a super imposable dot map feature that allows a map to be used with any settlement in Ontario.
StubsEdit
Ontario-related articles may have one or more of the following stubs applied to them, as needed, in addition to, or in lieu of, Canada-specific stubs:
- {{Ontario-stub}} - basic stub for articles other than geographical articles. For Ottawa or Toronto specific articles, please use:
- {{Ottawa-stub}} - all Ottawa-related stubs
- {{Toronto-stub}} - non-geographical Toronto-related stubs
- {{Ontario-geo-stub}} - geographical articles; please use the most specific stub possible
