ABOUT CANADA
• ‘Canada’ a land of vast distance and rich natural
resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in
1867 while retaining ties to the British crown.
• Economically and technologically the nation has
developed in parallel with the us, its neighbor to the
south across an unfortified border.
• Canada faces the political challenge of meeting public
demands for quality improvements in health care and
education services as well as responding to separatist
concerns in predominantly Francophone .
• Quebec Canada also aims to develop its diverse energy,
resources while maintaining its commitment to the
environment.!

CANADA GEOGRAPHY-
as Canadian schoolchildren are proudly taught, is the second-biggest country on earth
— only Russia occupies more territory. Yet when it comes to people, Canada trails
behind many European countries one-thirtieth its size. This reality stems from Canada’s
unique geography, which is, all things considered, rather unfriendly to humans. Over 80
per cent of Canada’s land is uninhabited, and most Canadians live clustered in a handful
of large cities close to the U.S. border.
The Canadian Landmass
 Canada occupies the top half of the North American continent, where
it borders the United States — Canada’s only neighbouring nation —
to its south (and north-east, via the isolated state of Alaska). Canada’s
national motto, A Mari usque ad Mare, or “From Sea to Sea,” captures
the vastness of the nation, as the country quite literally stretches from
the Pacific Ocean on its western coast to the Atlantic Ocean on its
east. Some have even suggested adding a third “to Sea” in the motto
to reflect the fact the country reaches high enough north to touch
the Arctic Ocean as well.
 The story of Canadian geography unfolds in two directions: west to
east and north to south. The more north you go, the colder, rockier,
snowier, and overall less suitable for living the country gets, which
explains why few people go through the hassle. From west to east
unfolds the more liveable portion, and a vast array of geographic
diversity encompassing everything from lush green valleys to dry,
sandy deserts.
QUICK FACTS
 Canada is the world's
second-largest
country, yet most of
the land is
uninhabited.
 The main regions of
Canada are the
mountainous west
coast, flat central
prairies, eastern
forested plains, and
frozen north.
 Almost every region
in Canada is home to
an abundance of
forests, rivers, and
lakes.
 Canadian weather is
harsh and cold during
the long winter
months but is more
varied during other
seasons.
WEATHER IN CANADA:
Weather is a controversial topic with Canadians, born
from a mix of frustration and defensiveness. On one
hand, Canada is, undeniably, one of the coldest
countries in the world, with temperatures in many cities
dipping below -20°(C) in the winter (December-March),
complete with heavy snowfalls, icy winds, and slippery,
frozen streets. On the other hand, winter is only one of
the country’s four seasons, and most inhabited parts of
Canada also enjoy relatively
mild autumns (September-December),
pleasant springs (March-June), and
warm summers (June-September).
The common assumption of foreigners that
Canada suffers through harsh cold all year round is a
stereotype Canadians find irritating.
Canadians who live near the Atlantic or Pacific coasts usually experience minimal snow,
but long, heavy periods of rainfall in the fall and winter, and a generally moist, grey
climate. In the sunny Prairie region, rain is considerably rarer, but the dry air can
occasionally prompt fierce thunderstorms and tornadoes — sometimes called Alberta
Clippers. Central Canada has infamously cold, snowy winters, but these usually give
way to wet springs and very hot, humid summers. Northern Canada tends to have the
most extreme weather polarization of all, with as much as 24 straight hours of
continuous sunlight in the summer, and near-perpetual darkness in the fall. Even in the
North, however, there are still periods of relative warmth and green — at least in areas
where humans live.
Going the Distance
Canada's longest distance from east to west is
from Cape Spear, Newfoundland to Mt. St.
Elias, Yukon — 5,187 km. The longest distance
from Canada's north to south is from Cape
Columbia, Northwest Territories, to Middle
Island, in Lake Erie — 4,627 km.
Canada West Mountain School
Mount Logan-
Canada's tallest peak, Mount Logan, is the
second-highest mountain in North America,
and is located close to the Yukon-Alaska
border. Its highest point is 5,959 metres
(19,551 feet). Canada's next four tallest
mountains are all in the Yukon as well.
Canadian Forests and Trees-
The old growth forests on the islands of
British Columbia are home to some of the
oldest, tallest trees in Canada. Seen here,
a dense forest in Port Renfrew, British
Columbia, located on the west coast of
Vancouver Island. There are trees in Port
Renfrew estimated to be over a thousand
years old.
GOVERNMENT-
Canada’s style of government is based on the British system, with the national
government run as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. Canada
also resembles the United States in that the country is divided into 13 provinces and
territories, all of whom have their own separate governments with unique powers.
Day-to-day Canadian politics are defined by endless back-and-forth debates between
right and left, and similarly heated arguments between the federal and provincial levels
of government. There also tends to be a fair deal of debate about the institutions of the
Canadian government itself, and whether all the various parts of the Canadian
democratic system are really working the way they’re supposed to.
Quick Facts
 Most of Canada's
organized folk traditions
and rituals involve
commemorating
important dates in
someone's life.
 Birthdays, weddings,
funerals, and school
graduations are
commemorated with
some of the most
common and well-known
Canadian traditions.
 Most Canadian traditions
and rituals are broadly
inspired by Christian-
European practice, but
many are now uniquely
North American.
CULTURE
Birthstones
Every month on the calendar has a
different precious stone associated with it,
and some Canadians enjoy buying jewelry
featuring their "birthstone."
The Tooth Fairy
When Canadian children lose their teeth, it's tradition for them to put
them under their pillow at night. The Tooth Fairy (that is, mom or dad)
then comes by and replaces the tooth with a small amount of money
while they sleep.
Separation of Church and
State?
Canada's Constitution
not officially separate
religion from government:
the preamble to the
Charter of Rights and
Freedoms states that
Canada recognizes "the
supremacy of God," and
the Constitution allows the
government to fund
Roman Catholic schools in
certain provinces. The
British monarch, who
serves as Canada's head
state, is also the legal
("the Supreme Governor")
of the Church of England,
though interestingly
enough she has no formal
position in the Anglican
Church of Canada.
RELIGION
 The vast majority of Canadians believe in God
and consider themselves members of an
organized religion.
 The most popular religion in Canada is
Christianity, and most Canadian Christians are
Catholics.

Canadian Attractions
We have taken a look at Canada’s many unique attractions
1.The Canadian Rockies
Straddling the British Columbia/Alberta border, this mountain
chain runs from the U.S. border to the northern end of
British Columbia.
2. Niagara Falls
➢Niagara Falls is actually three separate,
massive waterfalls located on the Niagara
River at the southern tip of Ontario.
➢The Falls are one of the truly natural
wonders of the world. The sight and
thunderous sound of the cascading waters are
mesmerizing and the mystic power of the falls
will always stay with you.
3.Pacific National Rim Park
 Located on Vancouver Island’s rugged west coast, the park
 encompasses Long Beach, which is actually a 40-km stretch of
wide.
 The park provides access to nature at its rawest: Wet, wild
and dramatic scenery that can be observed from the comfort
of warm, luxurious hotels that dot the coastline.
4. Cabot Trail (Nova Scotia)
➢This 300 km trail through the highlands of Nova Scotia’s Cape
Breton, on Canada’s east coast, is actually a drive; a beautiful,
scenic loop carved into the side of mountains that rise high
above the waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
➢Cape Breton has been rated one of the best Island
destinations in the world and this is in no small part to the Cabot
Trail that offers breathtaking vistas of Cape Breton’s rugged
coastline.
5.Baffin Island
➢Canada’s largest island, and the fifth largest island
in the world, lying between Greenland and the
Canadian mainland, in the territory of Nunavut.
➢In our ever-shrinking world, Baffin Island still
offers pristine, raw nature at its most beautiful.
6.Vancouver/Victoria
➢Vancouver is a metropolitan city in the southwest corner of British Columbia, on
Canada’s west coast. Victoria is a smaller city at the south end of Vancouver Island
.
➢These are among the prettiest and cleanest cities in the world. Vancouver is set
beautifully where the mountains meet the sea and for large parts of the year you
canboth golf, sail, swim and go skiing.
7. The Prairies
➢The prairie is a vast steppe-land area between the Rocky Mountains andcentral
Canada. The northern stretches of this region are home to Canada's borealforest.
➢It’s hard to describe, On the prairies the sky surrounds 180 degrees of your sightline
in all directions.
8. The Rocky Mountain
➢A train vacation experience, the Rocky Mountaineer travels
from the coast of British Columbia to the Rocky Mountains in
Alberta, and vice versa.
➢Quite possibly the best way to see Canadian wildlife by train
travel . The Rocky Mountaineer has won the prestigious World
Travel Award as "World's Leading Travel Experience by Train"
in both 2005 and 2006.
9. Old Québec City
➢Quebec means, 'where
the river narrows‘. Québec
City is the capital of
Québec, located on the St.
Lawrence River in Central
Canada.
➢Québec's Old Town has
an old-world charm unique
in North America and is the
only North American
fortified city north of
Mexico.
10. Bay of Fundy
➢ The Bay of Fundy is
an ocean bay
stretching
between the
provinces of New
Brunswick and
Nova Scotia.
➢ The Bay has the
highest tides in the
world and it's
estimated that100
billion tons of
seawater flow in
and out each tide
cycle. That's a foot
every 10 minutes.
The waters of the
bay are populated
with many water
animals.
