Oshawa is the largest municipality in the Regional Municipality of Durham, giving it a prominent place in Southern Ontario. Along Lake Ontario, about 60 kilometres east of downtown Toronto, it is often regarded as the eastern anchor of both the Greater Toronto Area and the Golden Horseshoe. Its name comes from the Ojibwa term aazhawe, meaning “the crossing place” or simply “a cross.”
