Northwestern Ontario
Northwestern Ontario
is a secondary region of
Northern Ontario
which lies north and west of
Lake Superior
, and west of
Hudson Bay
and
James Bay
. It includes most of
subarctic
Ontario. Its western boundary is the Canadian province of
Manitoba
, which disputed Ontario's claim to the western part of the region. Ontario's right to Northwestern Ontario was determined by the
Judicial Committee of the Privy Council
in 1884 and confirmed by the
Canada (Ontario Boundary) Act
, 1889 of the
Parliament of the United Kingdom
. In 1912, the
Parliament of Canada
by the Ontario Boundaries Extension Act gave jurisdiction over the District of Patricia to Ontario, thereby extending the northern boundary of the province to
Hudson Bay
.
