industrialized area of Canada, particularly in the south around the Great Lakes and the St Lawrence River. The Great Lakes are the largest body of fresh water in the world. In order of size, they include Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. These waterways along with the St Lawrence River are an important transportation route from the Atlantic Ocean to  Canada's interior. Between Lake Eire and Lake Ontario, the Niagara River plunges over a rocky ledge and forms the famous Niagara Falls. In the far north we find the Hudson Bay Lowlands, which are cold, flat, and swampy, with very few cities. This area is home mainly to Inuit and other indigenous peoples who have lived there for centuries. The St Lawrence Lowlands have excellent transportation facilities and lie near markets in the United States. These features help make the region a manufacturing centre, producing three-

About twelve million tourists come to see the beauty of the falling waters every year. The Horseshoe Falls are much bigger and have more strength that the American Falls. People can enjoy the noise and the sight of the waters from the boats which take them right next to the falls. In the evenings, when the falls are illuminated by colorful spotlights, they are magnificent.
