Ottawa
Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, is situated on the south bank of the Ottawa River at the confluence with the Rideau River. The city's topography is characterized by gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging from approximately 44 meters (144 feet) above sea level at the Ottawa River to its highest point of 166 meters (545 feet), located 2.6 kilometers (1.62 miles) south-southeast of Manion Corners. The landscape is predominantly composed of Paleozoic carbonate and shale lowlands, surrounded by more rugged Precambrian igneous and metamorphic formations. Notably, the nearby Gatineau Hills, part of the southern tip of the Canadian Shield, rise across the Ottawa River in Quebec, providing a contrasting hilly backdrop to the otherwise moderate relief of the Ottawa Valley.

London has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb), though due to its downwind location relative to Lake Huron and elevation changes across the city, it is virtually on the Dfa/Dfb (hot summer) boundary favouring the former climate zone to the southwest of the confluence of the South and North Thames Rivers,…

Guelph
This region of Ontario has cold winters and warm, humid summers, falling into the Köppen climate classification Dfb zone, with moderately high rainfall and snowfall. It is generally a couple of degrees cooler than lower elevation regions on the Great Lakes shorelines, especially so in winter, the exception…

Peterborough
Canada > Ontario > Peterborough
Peterborough's topography is largely defined by land formations created by the receding Wisconsian glaciers 10,000–15,000 years ago. The South End and Downtown portions of the City sit on what was the bottom of the glacial Lake Peterborough—part of a glacial spillway created when glacial meltwaters from…
