Ontario and Canadian Peaks Revealed in Interior Department Dictionary
A Ottawa interior department dictionary of elevations lists Ontario peaks led by Tip Top Hill at 2120 feet and Thunder Cape at 1950 feet. It notes Toronto landmarks and city heights, then moves west to Alberta and British Columbia giants like Mount Fairweather at 15292 feet, with Manitoba and Atlantic provinces’ notable rises and a quirk on Montreal’s mountain claim versus real height.
