"In New Ontario" -- about 1910-1916
It was called "New Ontario" because the province's boundaries were extended northward (and westward) from what they had been in 1867. But about 1906 they were still far south of the present day northern boundary.

From the locomotive and the distinctive ventilators on the express car (3rd car), this is definitely on the Canadian Pacific Railway ... it appears to be in the 1910-1916 era.
In the photo we see a lot of new ballast being placed on the tracks. At that time the Canadian Pacific Railway were upgrading and solidifying their tracks, which had only been in place 25-30 years.
