Polar bears donąt come anywhere near that south, unless you count the ones
in the Metro Toronto Zoo.

A great park to visit in Ontario is Algonquin.  I used to go there all the
time when I lived in Ontario, and I never got bored.  You can get
information on campground availability at
<http://www.parkreports.com/report.php>    Other Ontario provincial parks
are also listed there.
