My Canada

by Ryan Fyfe

Canada is the most northerly located country in North America. Canada borders the United States of America to the south and the Artic Ocean to the North. Due to it's extremely northern position Canada is the most northern located country in the world! Being the Second largest country in the world, there is a lot of Canada up north. Consisting of ten provinces and three territories, Canada is a country of approximately 32million. Canada had two official languages, both English and French.

Canada's Provinces and Territories are as follows: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. Canada's major cities include Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, Quebec City, Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Edmonton.

It is believed that the name "Canada" originated from a Huron-Iroquoian word "Kanata", meaning village or settlement.

Because of Canada's extreme Land mass, and water on three sides there is something for everyone to see, and do.
