Canada is located in North America and stretches
all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific, being made up of ten
Provinces and three Territories. To the North is the Artic ocean; Davis
Strait on the North East separates it from Greenland, to the East is the
Atlantic Ocean; the South is bordered by the United States of America
and the West by the Pacific Ocean and Alaska.
A country of outstanding natural beauty, Canada has a wide variety of landscapes;
the mountains, the prairies, lakes and rivers with many national and
provincial parks to protect the habitats. With a total land mass of
9,984,670 sq km (3,855,103 sq mi), Canada is the second largest country
in the world. There are more lakes and inland waters in Canada than any
other country, in fact 7.6% or 755,180 sq km (291,577 sq) is made up of
fresh water.
Most images of Canada refer to the Mounties, bears, snow or the Rocky Mountains with the amazing turquoise lakes though there is truly more to this vast landscape. Tourism
is a large part of the economy with the abundant natural resources
quickly turning Canada into a rich and vibrant country that is a
permanent listing at the top of the best places to live.
With distinct seasons – the winters are cold with plentiful snow and
then warm summers, the best way to survive is to make the most of
natures offerings
Skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling are popular pastimes and great
exercise and fun. In the summer, hiking, camping and exploring the great
outdoors are fantastic ways to spend your free time. This is especially
true when you are amongst the most breathtaking and fabulous scenery
the world has to offer!
