    Point Pelee is a national park, and a point of land, but you are
    probably thinking of Point Pelee Island which is offshore a ways.
    Technically there is another small island the furthest point South
    in Canada a little farther out called Middle Island.

    I was more thinking of the nearest residential area close to
    Point Pelee Park since that's what they usually refer to as the
    Southernmost point on the mainland, probably Leamington, On..

    Point Pelee ?
    Can't get much more South in Canada..
    Yes you can... Pelee Island.
    Then on to Middle Island.. B)

    So, the Southern most...
    o Populated mainland: Colchester
    o Mainland point: Point Pelee Natnl. Pk.
    o Populated land: Pelee Island.
    o Canadian-owned land: Middle Island.

    That should do it.
