[edit] Descendant WikiProjects

• WikiProject Prescott-Russell

[edit] Scope

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.

[edit] Geography

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
• Greater Sudbury
• Thunder Bay
• Oshawa
• Peterborough

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:

• Oak Ridges Moraine
• Niagara Escarpment
• Algonquin Park
• Niagara Peninsula
• Great Lakes

There should also be some emphasis on creating/expanding articles about Northern Ontario and Eastern Ontario topics.

[edit] Culture

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

[edit] Participants

• Bearcat
• Mindmatrix
• Blacknail
• SFrank85
• PKT
• Sum1else

[edit] Accessibility

A secondary aspect of this project is to ensure that some accessibility issues are solved. For example, an effort should be made to deliver spoken-word versions for articles with high visibility, such as Toronto.
