The Mohawk Nation at Akwesasne ( /ˌækwəˈsæsneɪ/ AK-wə-SAS-nay ; French : Nation Mohawk à Akwesasne ) ( alternate spelling Ahkwesáhsne ) is a Mohawk Nation ( Kanien'kehá : ka ) territory that straddles the intersection of international ( United States and Canada ) borders and provincial ( Ontario and Quebec ) boundaries on both banks of the St. Lawrence River . Most of the land and population are in what is otherwise the present-day Canada . A small portion is also in the United States . Although divided by an international border , the residents consider themselves to be one community . They maintain separate police forces due to jurisdictional issues and national laws . The community was founded in the mid-18th century by Mohawk families from Kahnawake ( also known as Caughnawaga ) , a Catholic Mohawk village that developed south of Montreal along the St. Lawrence River . Today Akwesasne has a total of 12,000 residents , with the largest population and land area of any Kanien'kehá : ka community . From its development in the mid-eighteenth century , Akwesasne was considered one of the Seven Nations of Canada . It is one of several Kanien'kehá : ka ( Mohawk ) , meaning people of the flint in Mohawk , territories within present-day Canada ; others are Kahnawake , Wahta , Tyendinaga , Kanesatake , and the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation ( which includes several subdivisions of Mohawk , the other five nations of the Iroquois League , and some other Native American tribes ) , founded after the American Revolutionary War . With settlement of the border between Canada and the United States in the early 19th century , a larger portion of the territory was defined as being within the United States . The portion in New York state is known as the federally recognized St. Regis Mohawk Reservation . The portion in Ontario is referred to as Akwesasne Reserve No .
Ontario is one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada . Located in Central Canada , it is Canada 's most populous province , with 38.3 percent of the country 's population , and is the second-largest province in total area . Ontario is fourth-largest jurisdiction in total area when the territories of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are included . It is home to the nation 's capital city , Ottawa , and the nation 's most populous city , Toronto , which is also Ontario 's provincial capital . Ontario is bordered by the province of Manitoba to the west , Hudson Bay and James Bay to the north , and Quebec to the east and northeast , and to the south by the U.S. states of ( from west to east ) Minnesota , Michigan , Ohio , Pennsylvania , and New York . Almost all of Ontario 's 2,700 km ( 1,678 mi ) border with the United States follows inland waterways : from the westerly Lake of the Woods , eastward along the major rivers and lakes of the Great Lakes/Saint Lawrence River drainage system . These include Rainy River , Pigeon River , Lake Superior , St. Marys River , Lake Huron , St. Clair River , Lake St. Clair , Detroit River , Lake Erie , Niagara River , Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River from Kingston , Ontario , to the Quebec boundary just east of Cornwall , Ontario . There is only about 1 km ( 0.6 mi ) of land border , made up of portages including Height of Land Portage on the Minnesota border . Ontario is sometimes conceptually divided into two regions , Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario . The great majority of Ontario 's population and arable land is in the south . In contrast , the larger , northern part of Ontario is sparsely populated with cold winters and heavy forestation .

Barrie is situated approximately 86.6 kilometres ( 53.8 mi ) from the Toronto Pearson International Airport and 109 kilometres ( 68 mi ) from Downtown Toronto , representing the city 's highly centralized and historically strategic geographical orientation and its ease of access to major centres and airports across the region . The Barrie area was first settled during the War of 1812 as a key supply depot for British forces . It would be named twenty years later for Sir Robert Barrie , who consistently commanded forces through the region . Throughout the 1980s and 1990s , Barrie 's emergence as a bedroom community for the city of Toronto grew in prominence , and its economy would be wrapped around the education , healthcare , information technology and service sectors . Being located in the climatically deterrent snowbelt region of southern Ontario , Barrie is notorious for its deluging snow squalls in the winter .

The Ontario Junior A Lacrosse League is a box lacrosse league in Ontario , Canada sanctioned by the Ontario Lacrosse Association . It is a 12 team league wherein the top 8 go to the playoffs and battle it out for top spot in Ontario . The playoff Champion moves on to compete for the National Championship - the Minto Cup .
The Minto Cup is awarded annually to the champion junior men 's box lacrosse team of Canada . It was donated in 1901 by the Governor-General , Lord Minto . Originally restricted to amateurs , within three years the first under-the-table professional teams were already competing for it . After 1904 , with efforts to keep the professionals out of competition proving to be futile , it was made open to all challengers . The last successful amateur challenge came in 1908 when New Westminster Salmonbellies won it ; the last amateur challenge was made in 1913 by Vancouver Athletic Club . This would be the only time in Canadian lacrosse history when the Mann Cup champions ( Vancouver ) faced the Minto Cup champions ( New Westminster ) head-to-head - with the silverware ( Minto ) going to the winner . With the professionals essentially in control of the cup by 1910 , the newly inaugurated Mann Cup became the replacement for the senior men 's national amateur championship . The Minto Cup professional competition was dominated by the New Westminster Salmonbellies , who held the trophy for 21 of the 29 years in which it was contested ( the competition was suspended during World War I ) . 1924 was the last year professionals played for the Minto Cup - after the Coast professional league folded in June 1924 , it was then placed into storage and for a time lost and forgotten when the last trustee died . The trophy was located just prior to the 1938 junior competition , underneath a desk in his office . During the trophy 's period of inactivity , there were suggestions to make the Minto Cup an international championship trophy . In 1934 the last trustee appointed to supervise the Cup died , and the Lord Minto of the day eventually transferred it to the Canadian Lacrosse Association , which decided to award it as the trophy for the national junior men 's champion , starting in 1937 .
