Well there are lots of amazing places in Canada but The Canadian Shield is the best! The Canadian Shield is one of the 7 Canadian landforms, the Canadian Shield is the largest landform and covers most of Canada. The Canadian Shield covers about 5 million km square (Bastedo J. 2006 Para 2). The population in the Canadian Shield is somewhere around 7 million people which makes up 20% of Canada’s population (Population C. 2011 para 1). The Canadian Shield is an interesting landform that is very different and unique compared to the other landforms.

The Canadian Shield has a unique
The variety of plants makes the Canadian Shield rich with vegetation. The plants differ from Southern to Northern areas of the Shield. For example; in northern areas you will see Coniferous trees, as you go south you will find more and more broadleaf trees. Some trees are; Black & White Spruce, Fir, Aspen, Alder, Tamarack, Cherry, Black Ash, Maple, Hemlock, Cedar, Willow, and Poplar. There are a variety of berries in the region berries include; Blueberry, Bunchberry, Bearberry, Soapberry, Cupid berry, Baneberry, Gooseberry, and Crowberry, there are many plants that inhabit the Canadian Shield. There is a plant similar to Grass called Sedge. There is also moss that is found in the region which is called Feather moss, there is also a moss called Sphagnum moss. Some flowers are; Fireweed, Rosemary, Twinflower, Wild Chives, Saxifrage and Kalmia Heath ( Sagner, B. 2010 para 1). The Canadian Shield locale of Canada has heaps of creatures. A portion of the creatures are moose, wild bears, wolves, foxes, beavers, minks, martens, wolverines, lynxes, wood bison, forest caribou, vixens, weasels and rabbits. The Canadian Shield has a wide range of sorts of untamed life that make can make The Canadian Shield their home because they can sufficiently discover food, water and shelter there (Canadian Shield, 2003 para 5). In the end The Canadian Shield is home to interesting animals and
This means people here can do winter activities and summer activities! Some popular activities here are hunting: Hunting is very popular in The Canadian Shield because of the vast amount of animals such as: moose, mountain bears, wild bears, wolves, foxes, beavers, minks, martens, wolverines, lynxes, wood bison, forest caribou, vixens, weasels and rabbits. The Canadian Shield is also a great place to go fishing. There are also several popular sports that can be played in The Canadian Shield in the winter, these sports include: hockey, dogsledding and skiing because of the large amount of water and snow in the winter. Hiking could also be a popular activity because of the vast amount of cliffs in the Canadian Shield. (Tourist C. 2012 para 9). This could also lead to beautiful scenery when hiking so photography is also a possible activity. There are also several interesting provinces and territories you may want to visit, these include: Ontario which contains Ottawa our nation’s capital, Quebec which has some of our nation’s most treasured cities such as Montreal and Quebec City, Manitoba, Yellowknife, North West Territories and etc. (Regional Geo SS9 2006 para 9) The Canadian Shield has lots of activities and places that will keep you entertained for long periods of
This is a report based on three days of observations and testing in the region known as the Peterborough drumlin field. It will address a variety of regional elements, such as climate, soil, vegetation, hydrology, geomorphology, and geology. A variety of sites located on the Canadian Shield, the zone of thick glacial deposits to the south, and the transition between them will be the focus of the report. It is supplemented with previous research on the region. September 8, 1999, day one of the field study involved an area of largely granite bedrock that is part of the Canadian Shield and is the most northern point of study (see Map 2). September 9, 1999, day two, involved three main areas of study: the Bridgenorth esker (Map 3), Mark S. Burnham Park (Map 4), and the Rice Lake drumlin (Map 6). These sites are in areas of thick glacial deposits. September 10, 1999, day three, involved studying the Warsaw Caves (see Map 5) as a transition zone between Precambrian Shield rock to the north and Paleozoic rock to the south. A general map of the entire study region is provided by Map 1.
Vimy Ridge, even the name instills pride in Canadians. Why is that, you might ask. Well, I will tell you in this essay why, Canadians captured Vimy Ridge, when even the stoic warriors from other nations could not, why it was imperative that the Canadians fight as one, in order to achieve victory, and what differences were made to modern fighting tactics to accommodate for the new technology and Canadian troops.
The War Measures Act was a law passed in 1914 by the Canadian Government in Canada during WWI, amongst many others that the government had passed that allowed the government to take control of communications, establish censorship of transatlantic cables, and organize the militia (Bolotta, Angelo et al. 39). The War Measures Act itself allowed the government to: censor and suppress publications, writing, maps, plans, photographs, communications, and means of communication, arrest, detain, exclude, and deport persons, control harbours, ports, and territorial waters of Canada and the movements of vessels, control the transport of persons and things by land, air, or water control trade, production, and manufacturing, and appropriate and dispose of property and of the use thereof (Bolotta, Angelo et al. 39). It gave the government emergency powers “allowing it to govern by decree” while Canada was in war (War). In World War I (1914-1920), it had been used to imprison those who were of German, Ukrainian, and Slavic decent, and was used in the same way again in WWII (1939-1945) to imprison Japanese-Canadians, and to seize all of their belongings. They were then relocated into internment camps and concentration camps (Bolotta, Angelo et al. 171). Both times, those that were persecuted did not have the right to object (War). Those these laws had been created for the purpose of protecting Canadians from threats or wars for security, defense, peace order and welfare of Canada it instead greatly limited the rights and freedoms of Canadian citizens and debasing immigrants of enemy countries both in WWI and WWII (Bolotta, Angelo et. Al 39).

There are many achievements that Canada made during and after World War Two but the most important accomplishment was the attainment of independence. Canada was growing further and further apart from Mother Britain. Also, there was a feeling of greater pride and nationalism within the citizens and soldiers of Canada. Canada’s sense of identity had changed completely and Canada grew its autonomy significantly. This can be seen by Canada’s success in the Battle of Atlantic, the Invasion of Italy and D-day. As a result, Canada was extremely prosperous at gaining autonomy during World War Two.

Canada ruled the 20th century through science and technology and advanced more than any other country in this time period. Prime Minister Laurier was correct when he stated in his speech “that it is Canada that shall fill the 20th century.” Technology and science were one of the huge factors for Canada being a successful country compare to the world. In technology and science, there were many inventions that were developed in Canada that wowed the world and made Canada feel incredible. Even though war is sad and cruel, the crazy need to survive and the confidence to strive for success has made Canada’s technology and science advance greatly.

Since the British Empire conquered North America, Canada has been a tightly connected colony of Britain. Canada has always under British rule and their cultures and national identity copied each other. However, after the Second Cold War Canada became culturally different in comparison to Britain and was lacking their own individual national identity. Joining NORAD, introducing a new Canadian flag, and fact that Canada’s Constitution was patriated helped ameliorate an identity for Canada. These advances of becoming an autonomous country after the Second World War helped Canada where it is today.
The average elevation in the Hudson Plains is 120m above sea level. It is a flat lowland area. The land is made up of mineral soils, with few outcrops of underlying sandstone and shale. This land was created when the weight of glaciers depressed the Hudson Bay region and the ocean waters flooded areas up to 300 km inland from the current coastline. Then, during the retreat of the huge continental ice sheets, drainage into the Hudson Bay was blocked and lakes (Agassiz and Ojibway for example) were formed along th...
It is one of two countries that share a border with the United States. Its climate varies from temperate in the south to subarctic and artic in the north. Canada 's terrain is mostly plains, with mountains in the west and lowlands in the southeast. One of Canada’s biggest geographical disadvantages is that even though it is the second largest country in the world, only 4.3% of its land is arable. 90% of Canada 's population is concentrated within 160 km of the US border.
