Canadian Social Activities

Canada, at first, may seem like a thoroughly, uncaptivating country to explore if your home-country is America. Since the two countries are practically relatives, due to their proximity, they have many similarities. For instance, they both speak English, are geographically vast in land placement, and they have similar measures of diversity.
