从多伦多开车,三个小时后便可以到达安省东北的南部。如果在高速公路上继续往北走到尽头,还需要开七个半小时的车,这地区是如此之大。坐飞机的话,北湾,萨德伯里市,苏圣玛丽市,和蒂明斯市的飞机场每天都有航班飞往多伦多皮尔逊国际机场和比利·毕晓普多伦多市机场,以及其他加拿大城市。
这区域里的房地产价格,与大多伦多区和加拿大许多的城市相比,便宜很多。安省东北一带的主要用语是英语,很多人也说法语。近年来,在比较小的城镇里,我们越来越常听见一些南亚与中国的语言,还能听见一些世界上其他地方的语言,例如波兰语和西班牙语。原来住在这片土地上的人士,也就是阿尔岗昆族,奥吉布瓦族,和克里族,是现今正式被承认的原住民族。他们还居住在这里,每一个族群也拥有自己的语言。
每一个枢纽城市内都有一家定居协助局,是专门为新来人士提供服务的,而且服务的范围也包括较小的城镇。在定居局里或是在个局的网站上,您可以轻易地找到关于居住在安省或是加拿大的信息。
