Our Province got its name from Lake Ontario.

Today the Convicted Felon President Trump declared Lake Ontario be named Lake America. But we all know its name will never ever change in Canada. It’s not his to change for Canadians.

Lake Ontario gets its name from an Indigenous Iroquoian and Wendat word, Ontarí'io, which translates to "lake of shining waters" or "great lake".

The Mohawk word — Oniatarí:io, meaning Beautiful Lake. It is also known by the Anishinaabe as Niigaani Gichigami, Leading Big Lake.

The name of the lake predates the formation of our two countries that share it as a border. The history of the name Lake Ontario helps us understand the history of our land. The lake doesn’t bow to politics.

Swim Drink Fish founder and former Lake Ontario Water Keeper Mark Mattson just wrote about the significance of Lake Ontario's namesake. Here’s a quote.

“Long after this trade dispute gets settled and long after everyone currently looking for political leverage has left office, Lake Ontario will still be here, doing what it's always done. Let’s not waste valuable time playing politics over a name and keep doing the work the lake and the Great Lakes actually make possible for the people that live here. Water has the power to unite people, to make them stronger, to build futures. That is why water is often called beautiful. That is why Lake Ontario.” Mark Mattson, Lake Ontario Waterkeeper
