Canada, with icy mountains, glaciers and a cold climate. Brrr! Better be wearing layers if you’re planning on taking a visit. Saskatchewan, an economy based on mining and agriculture. Covered by forestry and lake Athabasca sand dunes.A busy,city part of Canada is Ontario, with so much to offer and tourist attractions that will blow you away! Quebec, a province where 80% are francophones. New Brunswick is estimate 80% forested, with the other 20% consisting of agricultural land and urban areas. The major urban centres lie in the south of the province. Canada is pretty well-rounded with different climates.
Ontario’s Casa Loma is an astonishing historic site, A museum and landmark, Casa Loma is the grandest. Sir Henry Pellatt visioned it. Pellatt made his fortune harnessing the power of Niagara Falls to electrify the streets and homes of Toronto. At 98 rooms, it is Canada's largest house. The Pellatts moved into Casa Loma in 1913 and lived there for eleven years but due to financial issues Pellat sold his beloved home.In 1937 it was taken over by West Toronto’s Kiwanis Club who continue to manage it today. Ontario’s geography has many minerals and is covered with lakes and rivers. In the Hudson Bay lowlands which is North, it is mainly swampy and scattered with trees meanwhile there is more of a sweltering climate in Central and Eastern Ontario.This area has sometimes boiling hot summers and cold, long winters. Compared to Nunavut, Ontario is warmer with a balance of seasons and has the national capital Ottawa. There is a real sense of place because of the population, people and there are provincial parks, lakes and rivers, cities and towns and even forests and mountains, a balance of
everything! Fundy National Park in New Brunswick is a great place for nature lovers. Located on the Bay of Fundy near Alma, a small village. The Park reveals a weathered shore which rises to one of the highest tides in the world, the Acadian Highlands. You can witness the ocean floor with range of so many water creatures. The southern section of this park deals with cool and moist summers and mild but rainy winters.It’s evergreen forest is made up of so many kinds of trees like red spruce, balsam fir,sugar maple and beech trees.Fundy National Park even has a unique history. Native peoples used the waterways that lie between the park. New Brunswick has a sense of place because it’s known for the flat to rolling land and even has debris of ice sheets that were eroded in the last ice age. It is also special because it is one of the 3 Maritime provinces that fish for food. There are many islands, harbors and rivers along the coast. I thought Bay of Fundy was unique because I thought that there were just islands and farmsteads but to my surprise there was a marvelous forested park! Frobisher Bay in Nunavut will open your eyes. It is a deep indentation in the southeast of Baffin Island. Within Frobisher Bay itself are a numerous of bays and narrow passages between the islands. Among these are Wayne Bay and Ward Inlet. There are high cliffs on both shores. Nunavut has a different sense of place than Quebec because it covers one fifth of Canada and the Arctic Islands of the north and east are ringed by ice for almost the whole year. The region also stretch to the glaciers where there are rough, uneven mountains and inlets of the shores of islands like Ellesmere. Quebec’s far north has both trees and lakes making up one of the largest areas for animals. But like Nunavut Quebec’s Laurentians resort has snow-covered mountains during the season of winter. Canada is really special to me because it’s multicultural. Different seasons, tourist attractions and people. Each province and territory respects not only each other but Canada as one has a great relationship with other countries like USA and China. There are also more lakes in Canada than in any where else in the world.It has the world’s longest street, yonge street. It’s different because there are women in the military and unique because Canadians invented basketball-my favourite sport. They also invented the telephone and cable T.V .Canada is a country with no wars, democracy, equality between men and women and no racism. It’s my home. In conclusion, an exceptional country with beautiful scenery is definitely Canada.
Canada's heartland is southern Ontario and Quebec stretching from Quebec City to Windsor.

Canada has been shaped by the historical influences of World War 1, The Roaring 20’s & Dirty 30’s and World Was 2; setting the basis for the society for which we live in today. World Was 1 had a big impact on Canada because it started the process of giving woman rights and showing people that they can do the same jobs men can do. The Roaring 20’s & Dirty 30’s has a big effect on the country because people went from having a lot of luxuries in the 20’s, To having no luxuries in the 30’s. When World War 2 came it gave people jobs and money so they could buy back everything they lost in the depression.

Multiculturalism policy was first adopted in Canada in 1971, which reaffirms the dignity and value of all its citizens regardless of ethnic origins, race, religious affiliations, or language. Part of this policy, Canada confirms the rights of all the aboriginals along with the recognition of two official languages. Indeed, multiculturalism has great importance since its main purpose is to give equal treatment to all the citizens (Daniel, 2010). It ensures that all individual citizens could still maintain their identities, and have pride with their ancestry. Through this initiative, the Canadian government was able to give their citizens a feeling of self-confidence, making them more open to their diverse cultures. The multiculturalism policy
Today in Canada it is not uncommon to see people of various races, ethnic backgrounds or cultural groups living within a mutual society; commonly known as multiculturalism. Multiculturalism refers to the presence of, or support for the presence of several distinct cultural or ethnic groups within a society. As the topic becomes more more popular due to news events and social media debates, multiculturalism gets twisted and misunderstood. In essence, multiculturalism is not about dwelling on about our differences, it is about emphasizing our commonality. Diversity of the human race has the power to unify society and make it stronger. Firstly, innovation
Canada’s Smallest Province: A History of Prince Edward Island was published in 1973 and edited by Francis W.P. Bolger who writes both articles that will be focused on. Firstly, “Land and Politics, 1787-1824,” second, “The Demise of Quit Rent and Escheat, 1824-1842”. Interestingly, the book was published by the PEI 1973 Centennial Commission to commemorate the 100th university of their entrance into Confederation. It creates the perspective of the province being painted in an overly positive light, given its financial backing. It reflects the land tenure question and its effects on the political, economic and social triangle of the Islands development. Bolger “hopes that this volume will afford its readers an appreciation of some of the important themes and issues in the history of Canada’s smallest province” (Prologue). Bo...
Multiculturalism is a significant fabric of Canadian society that defines its unique identity among the rest of the world. Enactment of the Canadian multicultural policy (1971) affirmed government position and recognition of multiculturalism as a vital element of Canada. It is imperative to understand that multiculturalism is a static concept that keeps changing overtime and has a multidimensional entity. Canadians have always and will continue to revise the concept of multiculturalism to suit the ever expanding needs of Canadian society. In this paper, I will evaluate the reasons behind Canada’s adoption of multicultural policy and assess whether the policy should be maintained or not. I will defend the thesis that Canada’s multiculturalism
The Territorial North consists on the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon, all which rank the lowest in population and population density, however, Nunavut ranks the highest in the percent of population growth in Canada. Part of the reason is that the majority of the population in these territories are of Aboriginal descent. The growth rate might seem high in percentage, but the actual numbers are similar to Nova Scotia, has the lowest positive population growth among the provinces. The population density is highest near the Hudson’s Bay, in the city of Iqaluit. Although Statistics Canada did not mention the reason for the population growth, a probable reason could be due to the higher wages and good job markets for skilled labourers
