Vintage Ontario tourist materials

By at 7:14 am Thursday, Aug 10

I love this archive of vintage tourism materials from my home province of Ontario, Canada, especially the video for the "Ontari-ari-ari-o!" song, which I sang on many long car-trips:
Give us a place to stand
And a place to grow
And call this land Ontario
A place to live.
For you and me
With hopes as high
As the tallest tree
Give us a land of lakes
and a land of snow
And we will build Ontario
A place to stand, a place to grow
Ontari-ari-ari-o !
