| p:abstract
| - Oshawa (2006 population 141,590, CMA, 330,594) is a city in Ontario, Canada, on the Lake Ontario shoreline, approximately 60 kilometres east of downtown Toronto. It is commonly viewed as the eastern anchor of both the Greater Toronto Area and the Golden Horseshoe. It is not, however, part of the Toronto CMA but has its own metropolitan area, the fourteenth largest in Canada. It is the largest community in the Regional Municipality of Durham. The name Oshawa originates from the Ojibwa term aazhaway, meaning "the carring place" or just "(a)cross". The automobile industry, specifically the Canadian division of General Motors Corporation, known as General Motors Canada, has always been at the forefront of Oshawa's economy. Founded in 1876 as the McLaughlin Carriage Company, General Motors of Canada's headquarters and major assembly plants are located in the city. The lavish home of the carriage company's founder, Parkwood Estate, is a national historic site, and a backdrop favoured by Toronto film crews. The city is also home to Windfields Farm, a thoroughbred horse breeding operation and birthplace of Canada's most famous racehorse, Northern Dancer. Once very much a distinct community - physically, economically, and culturally - Oshawa has been increasingly subsumed into the Greater Toronto Area. (en)
- Oshawa est une ville canadienne sur le lac Ontario, 56 kilomètres au sud du centre-ville de Toronto, en Ontario. Sa population en 2004 s'élevait à environ 150 000 habitants; avec les banlieues, le total monte à 296 298 habitants. Son nom vient de la langue Sénéca et signifie "croisement des courants". À l'origine, Oshawa était un poste de traite pour le commerce des fourrures. Ces dernières étaient chargées sur des canots par les indiens Mississauga au port d'Oshawa et transportés aux postes de traite plus à l'ouest, à l'embouchure de la rivière Credit.L'industrie automobile, et tout particulièrement la division canadienne de General Motors, a toujours été le cœur et l'âme de l'économie d'Oshawa. Depuis sa fondation en 1876 en tant que McLaughlin Carriage Company, les quartiers généraux de GMC, de même que des usines d'assemblage majeures se trouvent dans la ville. La ville est également le site d'établissement de la Windfields Farm, un élevage de chevaux où est né le plus célèbre cheval de course canadien Northern Dancer. (fr)

- Oshawa ist eine Stadt in Kanada. Sie liegt im südöstlichen Teil der Provinz Ontario und grenzt direkt an den Ontariosee. Oshawa zählt aktuell (Zensus 2006, Statistics Canada) 141. 950 Einwohner, das Stadtgebiet erstreckt sich über eine Fläche von 145,7 km². Die Stadt Oshawa bildet mit seinem näheren Umland eine sogenannte census metropolitan area, da in ihrem Verdichtungsgebiet mehr als 100. 000 Einwohner wohnen. Die Metropolregion zählte 2006 insgesamt 330. 594 Bewohner. Damit ist sie nach Toronto, Ottawa–Gatineau, Hamilton, London, Kitchener und St. Catharines-Niagara die siebtgrößte in der Provinz Ontario und gehört zu den 15 bevölkerungsreichsten Metropolregionen in ganz Kanada. Ca. 55 km westlich von Oshawa liegt – ebenfalls am Ontariosee – Toronto. Oshawa ist deshalb Bestandteil des Großraums Toronto, der als das am dichtesten besiedeltste Gebiets Kanada gilt. Hier wohnen insgesamt ca. 5,55 Mio. Menschen. Trotzdem – und dies ist vor allem für das Selbstverständnis von Oshawa wichtig – gehört Oshawa nicht zur Metropolregion Toronto. Diese wies 2006 5,11 Mio Einwohner auf. Erst im Rahmen des enormen (wirtschaftlichen) Wachstums von Toronto und der damit einhergehenden geographischen Ausdehnung war Oshawa Teil des Großraums Toronto geworden. Oshawa gilt heute als das östliche Tor zu Toronto, das sich gemäß dem städtischen Motto „Prepare To Be Amazed“ jedoch als eigenständige vitale Stadt und nicht als Vorort bzw. „Schlaftstadt“ von Toronto betrachtet.
