It's a county rather than a region, but the city of Peterborough is in Peterborough County.

And Renfrew is in Renfrew County, but Perth is in Lanark County, not Perth County, and Prescott is in the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, not the United Counties of Prescott and Russell. And of course the various Yorks within Toronto weren’t within York (well maybe at one time, but that’s a long time ago). Interesting bunch of historical accidents.
