The title should be either the company's name or, where it seems more appropriate, that of the site itself -- and no more than this. In other words, phrases like "Welcome to ..." and "Your friendly/local ..." are both superfluous and destined for deletion. In turn, the Description should be free of personal pronouns and worded the way an observer and/or reviewer of the site would describe it and its content. Thus "Our mission is to serve your needs" needs altering to something like "Company's emphasis is on customer service." In effect, the title and description should simply let people know who's at the back of it and what information it contains or conveys. |
Regions are defined in Webster's or Funk & Wagnall's as a large and 'indefinite' part of the surface of the earth.In Ontario, ODP editors have 'defined' seven regions organized by geographic area, and containing specific counties and districts. The Ontario Regions below, list the Counties and Districts which they embrace.
Please note that these seven regions should not be confused with regional municipalities, of which there are a number in Ontario. Regional municipalities are listed in the Localities sub-category.

Note: The Localities categories linked to this Regions category contain sites that have a more localized association with it. On the whole, each of these sites is allocated to the municipality that contains its bricks and mortar address. In turn, the categories that contain these sites are broken down into subcategories as the sites start to exceed a manageable number. This subdivision is based on the existence of groups of sites that have an obviously -- or at least somewhat -- similar content.
