Along the shores of Lake
Ontario is Oshawa, 62 km northeast of Toronto.
This suburb has defined itself as a residential and business community with
several attractions. The Canadian
Automotive Museum chronicles the nation’s advancements in motorized vehicles,
with over 65 on display dating from 1898 to present. Murals painted by Canadian
artists brighten up Oshawa's downtown core. Parkwood
Estate, the former home of GM founding member Sam McLaughlin, consists of
55 rooms, over 30 of which are open to the public and is a popular wedding and
filming location. Aviation enthusiasts will appreciate the annual Aviation
Expo, the largest in Canada.
Oshawa began as an Aboriginal fur-trading site in the early 18th century. When
a permanent community formed, the name Oshawa was chosen, literally translated
as "that point at the crossing of the stream where the canoe was exchanged for
the trail". This point is still important, as the city’s exceptional harbour
facilities continue to contribute to the economy.
