- The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands, or simply St. Lawrence Lowlands, is a physiographic region of Eastern Canada that comprises a section of southern Ontario bounded on the north by the Canadian Shield and by 3 of the Great Lakes — Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario — and extends along the St. Lawrence River to the Strait of Belle Isle and the Atlantic Ocean. The lowlands comprise three sub-regions that were created by intrusions from adjacent physiographic regions — the West Lowland, Central Lowland and East Lowland. The West Lowland includes the Niagara Escarpment, extending from the Niagara River to the Bruce Peninsula and Manitoulin Island. The Central Lowland stretches between the Ottawa River and the St. Lawrence River. The East Lowland includes Anticosti Island, Îles de Mingan, and extends to the Strait of Belle Isle. The St. Lawrence Lowlands is one of the most densely populated, prosperous and productive regions in Canada. Major urban areas include Quebec City, Montreal, Trois-Rivières, Saint-Hyacinthe, Cornwall, Ontario, Brockville, Ottawa/Gatineau and Pembroke. The Lowlands is in the traditional territories of the Mohawk, the Algonquian and Iroquoian peoples, and the Cree. The St. Lawrence Lowlands was covered by surficial deposits left by ice sheets following the Pleistocene glaciations. It is the smallest of Canada's seven physiographic regions — the others being the Arctic Lands, the Cordillera, the Interior Plains, the Canadian Shield, the Hudson Bay Lowlands and the Appalachian Uplands — distinguished by topography and geology. The boundaries of the area largely reflect that of the Mixedwood Plains Ecozone, the smallest of Canada's fifteen terrestrial ecozones. (en)
- Les basses-terres du Saint-Laurent sont une province naturelle, canadienne et américaine située le long du fleuve Saint-Laurent entre les Appalaches et les Laurentides qu'elles suivent en parallèle. Elles occupent une superficie de 29 000 km2. Avec plus de quatorze millions d'habitants, c'est la province naturelle et géologique la plus peuplée du Canada, contenant presque la moitié de la population collective du pays. (fr)
- La regione del San Lorenzo è una vasta pianura canadese, che si sviluppa lungo le rive del fiume San Lorenzo. È una regione agricola (cereali e frutta, allevamento di bovini) e costituisce la zona più industrializzata del Canada, essendo particolarmente adatta all'insediamento umano. Vi si trovano la capitale del Canada, Ottawa, e le città più popolose dello Stato, Toronto e Montréal. (it)
