Polar bears don�t 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. Katherine -- Katherine J.
