Kitchener-Waterloo       
Just east of Hamilton and Lake Erie's famed Golden Horseshoe  lies the burgeoning high-tech triangle of Kitchener, Waterloo, and  Cambridge. The area was first settled in the late 1700s by the Six  Nations Native Peoples, who later sold the land to settlers. A patchwork  quilt of different villages and towns sprung up along the meandering  Grand River-now declared a national heritage river-from the German roots  of Kitchener, to the Mennonite settlers north of Waterloo, to the  Scottish weavers who came to Cambridge. This multifaceted history of  Waterloo County comes alive at Doon Heritage Crossroads, where costumed  interpreters reenact life at the turn of the 20th century.       
Brantford and Six Nations Reserve [D4]       
Brantford was originally part of a large land grant given by  the British government in 1784 to the Six Nations Indians in gratitude  for their loyalty during the American War of Independence. In 1827 the  center of the former settlement was named Brant's Ford after Mohawk  leader Joseph Brant. Kanata, the re-creation of a 17th-century Ontario  Iroquoian village, is a popular draw, as is Her Majesty's Royal Chapel  of the Mohawks (1785), the world's only Native Royal Chapel. (Sit was in  Brantford that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, and the  Bell Homestead is now a national historic site.       
Cambridge [A4] An old mill town, Cambridge is a popular spot  for shoppers with its many factory outlets. The banks of the Grand River  have pleasant hiking and cycling trails, including the excellent 18 km  Cambridge-to-Paris Rail Trail. Cambridge's Scottish heritage is  reflected in its historic stone buildings, and the annual Cambridge  Highland Games and Mill Race Festival of Traditional Folk Music.       
Hamilton [C7] Located at the western end of Lake Ontario,  Hamilton is one of Canada's leading industrial cities. The city is well  endowed with parks and the famous 1,100-hectare Royal Botanical Gardens,  which features a sunken Japanese garden, a vast rose collection, and  the world's largest lilac collection. The Museum of Steam and Technology  (housed in the 1859 Hamilton waterworks), the Art Gallery of Hamilton,  the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, and a military museum at stately  Dundurn Castle are well worth visiting.       
Kitchener-Waterloo [A2-A3] Founded in 1799 by Mennonites from  Pennsylvania, Kitchener was originally named Berlin with the arrival of  German settlers in 1833, but changed its name during World War I. Along  with its twin city, Waterloo, Kitchener celebrates its German heritage  every fall with Oktoberfest, the second largest Bavarian festival in the  world. The boyhood home of the late Canadian prime minister William  Lyon Mackenzie King is now Woodside National Historic Site. Kitchener is  also the site of a wide range of museums, from glass to optics.  Sportsworld, with its go-cart track, climbing wall, and golf range, is a  popular spot for family fun.       
Paris [C3] The pretty town of Paris, located at the confluence  of the Nith and Grand rivers, was the site where Alexander Graham Bell  received his first historic telephone message in 1876. Paris has long  claimed the title "The Cobblestone Capital of Canada" because the houses  and churches stand as fine examples of the art of cobblestone  construction.
