Erie t^ Canada is a land of lakes and rivers. With more than a million freshwater lakes, Canada has more lakes than any other country. The largest lake in Canada is Great Lake. Two other large lakes are Slave Lake and Lake Winnipeg. Four of the Great Lakes border Canada: Lake, Lake Huron, Lake and Lake Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world. The Mackenzie River is the longest river in Canada. This river system is more than 4000 km long and flows north into the Sea. The Nelson River is another large river. It empties into Bay. The Fraser River empties into the Ocean. The St. Lawrence River flows into the of St. Lawrence. Many of Canada's rivers flow north. Most empty into the Arctic Ocean or into Bay. 1'0 c apple prrss

10 THE GREAT LAKES 9 The Great Lakes are made up of five large lakes. The largest is Lake Superior. The second largest is Lake Michigan, followed by Lake Huron and Lake Erie. Lake Ontario is the smallest. All but Lake Michigan border southern Ontario. The water from the Great Lakes drains through the St. Lawrence River and into the Atlantic Ocean. These lakes provide a waterway for large ships as far inland as Chicago and Thunder Bay. The Great Lakes contain one-fifth of the world's surface fresh water. The 32 million people who live in cities that border the Great Lakes depend on these freshwater lakes for their drinking water. 1. Lake is the largest, coldest and deepest lake. 2. Lake is the shallowest and most southern lake. 3. Lake is the smallest lake..4. Only Lake does not border Ontario. 5. Lake has a large island and a large bay.

12 CANADA'S PHYSICAL REGIONS 11 The largest physical region in Canada is the Canadian Shield. It is called a shield because of its shape. The shield is made up of the oldest and hardest rock in the world. Around the Canadian Shield are flat lowlands and plains formed from softer rock. They include the Arctic Lowlands, the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands and the Interior Plains. On the outer edge of the lowlands are mountain ranges. The mountains of the High Arctic and the Cordillera are much higher and younger than the older and lower mountains of the Appalachian Region.

18 CANADA: WHERE THE PEOPLE LIVE 17 In 2001, Canada was home to nearly 31,500,000 people. Many more Canadians live in large towns and cities, or urban areas, than in villages and on farms. Canada's largest urban areas are Toronto and Montreal. More than eight million Canadians live in these two centres! Other large cities include Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Hamilton and Quebec. Most Canadians live the southern part of the country. The best farmland is in the south. Winters are not as long and cold in the south as they are farther north. If A = Z, B = Y and C = X, solve the codes below by matching each letter to its code letter.

No part of the Maritimes is far from the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The largest cities are Halifax and Saint John. Both cities are seaports. Fishing is an important industry - especially shellfish like lobsters and scallops. The Maritimes also produce crops of potatoes, apples and blueberries. The evergreen trees cut in New Brunswick are made into paper products. Many tourists visit the Maritimes each summer because of its coastal scenery and history.

Clothing, furniture, machinery and automobiles are some of the industries. Most of the people live in southern Ontario because the best farmland is located there. The largest cities - Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton and London -- are located in the south. Toronto is the capital and the largest urban centre. Northern Ontario begins near the city of Sudbury. Large areas of forest and large amounts of fresh water are two important resources in northern Ontario. Other valuable resources include metallic minerals, such as gold and nickel.

27 THE PRAIRIE PROVINCES 26 A prairie is a large area of natural grassland. The climate is too dry for trees, so grass covers the land instead. Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are known as the prairie provinces. But, only the southern part of these provinces is prairie. The northern parts are evergreen forest. Large farms are found on the Prairies. Farmers grow grains like barley, canola and wheat on the flattest parts. In the drier and hilly areas are cattle ranches. The prairie provinces are rich in energy and mineral resources. In the south are oil and natural gas deposits. Farther north, there are nickel and copper mines. Most of the people live in the southern part of the prairie provinces. The largest cities, Winnipeg, Regina and Edmonton, are all provincial capitals. Calgary and Saskatoon are other large prairie cities. 1. Put the five names in bold on the map. 2. Colour the map to show the three prairie provinces. Use different colours. 3 oppte press

28 BRITISH COLUMBIA 27 Complete the five names on the map. Colour the map to show the shape of British Columbia. British Columbia is known as Canada's pacific province. This is because the Pacific Ocean forms the province's western border. High mountains cover most of British Columbia. Along the coast are the Coast Mountains. The Rocky Mountains are the highest and form a natural border between southern British Columbia and southern Alberta. Between the mountains are many long, deep valleys. The Fraser and Skeena Rivers flow through such valleys. Much of British Columbia is covered in forest. Tall evergreen trees like the Douglas fir and red cedar grow along the rainy coast. Vancouver is British Columbia's largest city, but it is not the capital. The capital is Victoria, a city on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. Most of the population live in and around these two urban centres. a4ple press

30 A WEST COAST RAIN FORE ST 29 The west coast of British Columbia has a temperate rain forest. Winter is not too cold. Summer is not too hot. The winds from the Pacific Ocean keep temperatures fairly even. In fact, the west coast of Vancouver Island is the mildest place in Canada. It is also the wettest. Some places have nearly three metres of rainfall a year and it rains an average of six out of seven days! Winds blowing across the Pacific Ocean carry mild, moist air to the land. When this moist air is carried up the west-facing mountain slopes, it begins to cool and form clouds. The moisture in the clouds condenses into water droplets and falls as rain. Because of the plentiful rainfall and the long growing season, a thick forest covers much of the west-facing slopes of British Columbia's Coast Mountains. Sunlight rarely reaches the forest floor. In such dim light, mosses cover the damp ground and the trunks of trees. Ferns spread along the forest floor. Evergreen trees such as Douglas fir and western red cedar grow for a very long time and attain gigantic sizes. Some giants reach 100 metres in height with trunks two metres across.

31 THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS 30 Put the correct word in each box to describe the picture. peak ridge slope snowline valley A long chain of mountains is called a mountain range. The Rocky Mountains is the longest range in North America. Other ranges in the western mountains include the Coast Range and the Columbia Range. Many of these mountain ranges follow the Pacific coast. Most of the islands off the coast of British Columbia and Alaska are the tops of underwater mountain ranges. Canada's highest mountain is Mount Logan in the southern Yukon. It is 6050 metres high. The western mountains are popular places to visit. Some tourists come to see Lake Louise, a beautiful blue-green lake high in the Rocky Mountains. Others come to climb the ridges and peaks of steep mountains. Some come to ski and snowboard down the mountain slopes above the snowline. Others come to camp or fish in the rivers and lakes of the forested valleys between the mountains. Many come just to enjoy the fresh air and mountain scenery. 35 o apy[f_ press

32 CANADA'S ARCTIC 31 The Arctic is the largest natural region in Canada. It includes the land and water around the North Pole. One-third of Canada's land area is within this region. The southern boundary of the Arctic region is the treeline. Few trees can grow north of the treeline because the Arctic has below-freezing temperatures for much of the year, and the growing season is too short for trees. The treeline is more like a zone than a line and moves north or south from year to year. Canada's three largest islands --- Baffin Island, Ellesmere Island and Victoria Island - are in the Arctic region. Hudson Bay, Canada's largest saltwater bay, is also in the Arctic. The Arctic region includes almost all of Nunavut as well as the northern part of the Yukon and Northwest Territories. 1. On the map below, colour the Arctic region. 2. Underline the four provinces that are partly within the Arctic region. 36` ppk press

33 WHY THE A RCTIC IS A COLD LAND 32 For most of the year, the Arctic is a cold land. Winter lasts about ten months. Summer is very short. In winter, because of the tilt of the earth, the North Pole slants away from the sun. During this time, places close to the North Pole receive no sunlight at all for weeks. Even in places just below the Arctic Circle there is little daylight because the sun, at noon, is very low in the sky. Cold winds also keep temperatures low. In summer, because of the earth's tilt, the North Pole slants toward the sun. In late June, in the far north, daylight lasts for 24 hours. The sun does not set for days. Instead, it seems to circle the horizon. Summer in the Arctic lasts only about six weeks. There are many hours of daylight, yet temperatures remain low and often just above freezing.

34 CANADA'S TERRITORIES 33 Canada's three territories are all in the northern part of the country. These territories cover more than a third of Canada. The Yukon is the smallest territory. It is a land of high mountains, deep valleys and tall forests. Many visitors come to the Yukon for its clean air and mountain scenery. Whitehorse is the capital. The Northwest Territories is mostly evergreen forest with numerous lakes and rivers. East of the Mackenzie River Valley, the land becomes a flat, rocky lowland. In this old, hard rock are valuable minerals like lead and gold. The capital is Yellowknife, a city on Great Slave Lake. Nunavut is the newest and largest territory. Its capital is Iqaluit. Much of this territory is a treeless Arctic land called tundra. The northern part of Nunavut is mountainous with many islands. Baffin and Ellesmere are the largest.

35 CANADA'S NATIONAL FLAG 34 Canada became a country on July 1, However, Canada did not have its own flag until February 15, Before that time, Canada's official flag was the Royal Union Flag of Great Britain. The colours of Canada's national flag are red and white. Red represents strength. White represents purity. These colours reflect the origins of Canada's early French and English settlers. White was the colour of the flags of the early kings of France. Red was the colour of the flags of the early kings of England. Canada's flag displays a single red maple leaf. Like the beaver, the maple leaf has long been identified with Canada. The red maple tree grows in many parts of the country. Its hard wood and sweet sap were used by the Aboriginal peoples and early settlers. A country's flag should be treated with respect. Usually a flag flies at high or full mast. When an important Canadian dies, or if there is a national disaster, the flag is lowered to half mast. You can see Canada's flag flying from many public buildings. It helps to remind us of a strong, free and great northern land. Match each flag to its name. Colour Canada's national flag. 1. FLEUR- DE-LIS NATIONAL FLAG ROYAL UNION FLAG O app{e press

36 35 II Canada 's Provinces and Territories British Columbia The most western province in Canada is British Columbia. It is the third largest province. British Columbia's coast is on the Pacific Ocean. Victoria, the capital city, is located on the south end of Vancouver Island. About 4 million people live in British Columbia. British Columbia has been a province since Forests cover over half of this province, and forestry is the largest industry. British Columbia also has a large fishing industry. The province also produces apples, cherries, and plums. Copper, coal, gold, silver, and zinc are mined. Alberta Alberta is located between the Rocky Mountains and Saskatchewan and is bordered on the north by the Northwest Territories. It is home to almost 3 million people. Alberta is considered one of the three Prairie provinces. It became a province in Alberta was once covered with ancient lakes; today, many fossils and dinosaur remains can be found where the lakes used to be. Some of these remains have become fossil fuels (oil and natural gas). Alberta is the main producer of oil in Canada. It is also the main producer of natural gas and coal. Potash, quartz, and salt deposits are found in Alberta. Other important industries are cattle farming, wheat farming, and forestry. The capital city Is Edmonton. Saskatchewan Located between Manitoba and Alberta, Saskatchewan is the only Canadian province whose borders are not defined by a natural landform. About 1 million people live here. Regina is Saskatchewan 's capital city. Saskatchewan became a province in Saskatchewan is Canada 's main producer of wheat. Other crops include barley, oats, canola, and flax. The province also produces oil, coal, and natural gas. It is a large producer of potash. Manitoba Manitoba is located in the centre of Canada, between Saskatchewan and Ontario. The Northwest Territories and Nunavut form Manitoba's northern boundary. Manitoba is home to 1 million people. It has a large French-speaking community. The capital city is Winnipeg. Manitoba became a province in Even though Manitoba is an interior province, it has a coastline on Hudson Bay. Manitoba is a producer of hydroelectricity. Wheat is Manitoba's main crop. Other crops include barley, oats, flax, and canola. Nickel, gold, copper, zinc, and gypsum are mined.

37 36 Ontario Ontario is found north of the Great Lakes and west of Quebec. Canada became a country in That some year, Ontario became a province. Canada 's second largest province is home to 11 million people. Toronto is Ontario's largest city and its capital. Most of Ontario's population lives in an area called the Golden Horseshoe (located between Oshawa and St. Catharines, which is on the south side of Lake Ontario). This area is important because it has many industries (e.g., auto industry) and businesses (e.g., financial). The auto industry provides jobs for many Ontarians in this area. Many fruits and vegetables are produced here. Ontario also has a pulp and paper industry. Nickel, cobalt, salt, and magnesium are mined in northern Ontario. Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, is located in Ontario. 00 Quebec Quebec, Canada 's largest province, is home to more than 7 million people. Quebec is a French-speaking province. Its capital is Quebec City. Located east of Ontario, Quebec became a province in Quebec has many natural resources. It has built huge hydroelectric plants and is a main producer of electricity. Pulp and paper and lumber are important industries. Gold, copper, silver, zinc, nickel, and asbestos are mined. Quebec farmers produce dairy products, livestock, fruits, and vegetables. Maple syrup is produced from large maple tree farms. New Brunswick New Brunswick is located east of Nova Scotia. Fredericton is the capital. New Brunswick's population is New Brunswick became a province in New Brunswick is the only officially bilingual province. New Brunswick is a producer of lead, zinc, and coal. Along with forestry, New Brunswick industries include fishing and farming. New Brunswick grows potatoes, apples, blueberries, strawberries, and cranberries. Nova Scotia Nova Scotia, which became a province in 1867, is made up of mainland Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island. It has a population of The capital city is Halifax. The province is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the Bay of Fundy, and the Northumberland Strait. Fishing is an important industry. Nova Scotia also has a pulp and paper industry and fish packaging factories. Oil is produced. Farms grow Christmas trees and raise cattle for dairy products. Prince Edward Island Prince Edward Island, or PE.1., is located north of Nova Scotia and east of New Brunswick. It became a province in Its capital city is Charlottetown. The province has a population of

38 37 Prince Edward Island is home to Canada's largest potato crop. It has a large fishing industry. The province also produces fertilizer, wood products, and medical supplies. Prince Edward Island's main industry, however, is tourism. People from all over the world come to visit Green Gables. All of this takes place in Canada 's smallest province. Newfoundland & Labrador Newfoundland became a province in It was the last province to join Canada. It is the most eastern province in Canada. It is made up of two parts, the island of Newfoundland and the mainland territory of Labrador. About people live in the province. The capital city is St. John 's, which is the largest city in Newfoundland and Labrador. Oil is the main resource. It also produces and sells hydroelectricity and pulp and paper. Nickel, copper, zinc, lead, silver, limestone, and iron ore are all mined here. Yukon The Yukon Territory is the smallest of Canada 's three territories. It is located north of British Columbia and west of the Northwest Territories. The total population of the Yukon is about Most of the population lives in Whitehorse, the capital city. The Yukon became a territory in The Yukon 's main industry has been mining. Its natural resources include gold, lead, zinc, and silver. The Beaufort Sea, which is directly north of the Yukon, is drilled for oil. Tourism, fishing, and fur trapping are now the more important Industries in the Yukon. Northwest Territories The Northwest Territories became a territory in Since then, the Yukon and Nunavut territories have been created from land that once belonged to the Northwest Territories. The Northwest Territories is located between the Yukon and Nunavut. Yellowknife is the capital city. The population of the Northwest Territories is about The fur trade is an important industry in the Northwest Territories. There is little farming because of the permafrost. Diamonds, gold, zinc, lead, and silver are mined. Nunavut In 1999, Nunavut became Canada's newest territory. The most eastern territory, it borders Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec to the south. Nunavut has a large amount of land, but only about people. lqaluit is Nunavut's largest town and its capital. Nunavut 's greatest resources are its land and its wildlife. Fishing - especially for whitefish and arctic char - is an important industry. Although Nunavut has deposits of copper, lead, silver, zinc, iron, gold, and diamonds, the permafrost makes mining difficult

39 Canada's Geographic Regions Reader A: Atlantic Region The Atlantic Region is found on the east coast of Canada. It includes Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Gaspe region of Quebec. The land is characterized by low mountains and plains. The climate is cool and wet, with a hurri. cane tendency in the summer and early fall The area was once covered with lakes, which left behind good soil for farming. Farms in this area produce potatoes, milk, apples, and maple sugar. The forests are mixed - aspen, maple, ash, spruce, pine, and hemlock all grow in the region. The forests are used for pulp and paper production and lumber. Coal and oil are found in the region. The area is home to some of Canada 's best fishing. Reader B: Arctic Region This region is located north of the Arctic Circle and the tree line. Short, cool summers and long, cold winters help to maintain permafrost on the land. The southern part of this area has small hills; the northern part has mountains, glaciers, plains, and islands. Very little vegetation grows in this area. Oil, gas, lead, zinc, and silver can be found in this region. Reader A: Prairie Region Parts of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and northeast British Columbia, are in the Prairie Region. The region has short, hot summers and long, cold winters. The land has large grassy prairies and a zone of mixed woods, largely aspen. Farmers use this land to produce grain and to raise livestock.

40 39 Reader B: Western Cordillera This mountain region is found on the west coast of Canada, west of the Prairie Region. The Cordillera covers six mountain ranges, including the Rocky Mountains. This region also has high plateaus, meadows, fjords, valleys, and glacial ice fields. The highest parts of this region have little precipitation while the lower parts are snowy, cool, and rainy. The oldest coniferous trees in Canada are found in this region. The two main forests are the Western coastal forest and the boreal forest. The main industries are forestry, sport fishing, hydroelectricity, and orchards and vineyards. Reader A: St. Lawrence - Great Lakes Region This region is in southeastern Ontario and in the areas of Quebeec bordering the Great Lakes and Labrador. This area was shaped by glaciers. The land has plains and hills including the Niagara Escarpment, which is a steep rise of rock separating two levels of flat land. This region has the longest growing season in Canada. The summers are hot and humid with many thunderstorms. The winters are cool and snowy. The forests are mixed and include walnut, oak, sugar maple, and hemlock. The majority of Canada's manufacturing takes place in this region. It also includes the St. Lawrence Seaway. Reader B: Canadian Shield a The Canadian Shield is an area of ancient rock. This huge rock structure is the remains of mountains that were eroded by retreating glaciers. These glaciers also left thousands of hollows that have become lakes. The rock is covered by a thin layer of soil; fir and spruce trees grow here. The northern areas of the Canadian Shield have long, cold winters and short, warm summers. The weather varies between cool and wet and hot and dry. Many of the towns in this region were originally populated by people who were mining or working in forestry or hydroelectricity plants
