I. Introduction

In this work we are going to write about and explore the fascinating and interesting
culture of Canada.

We are going to talk about its gastronomy, art and religion. We are also going to talk
about its history and geography and its main tourist attractions that make Canada a truly
unique and notable country.

We chose Canada because it's a country that its enchanting with its cultural diversity,
incredible landscapes and exceptional quality of life.

It’s really important to study Canada because it is a country that embraces cultures from
all over the world, including the UK, with a population that encirclements its origins and
celebrates diversity. Studying Canada allows us to understand how this peaceful
coexistence of cultures can be achieved and the benefits it brings to a society.

Canada is a really interesting


country to study and explore
because of its impressive natural
beauty, vibrant culture and
technological innovation.

II. Canada

Canada is located in North America, north of the United States. It is the second largest
country in the world in terms of area, but it is relatively small in terms of population.

One of Canada's most notable features is its incredible geographical diversity. The
country is home to a vast variety of spectacular landscapes, including vast boreal
forests, magnificent mountains, countless crystal-clear lakes and rivers, as well as an
Atlantic coastline brimming with natural beauty.

Although Canadians are comparatively few in number, they have created what many
observers consider to be a model multicultural society, friendly immigrant populations
from every other continent.

Another of Canada's strengths is its high-level education and healthcare system, which
is available to all citizens and permanent residents. This concern for the well-being of its
inhabitants contributes to an excellent quality of life and a general sense of security.

Canada also shares a border with the United States to the south, marked by being the
longest unpatrolled border in the world.

Canada's capital is Ottawa.

II.1. Geography

The world's second-largest country in land area, Canada is bordered on the north by the
Arctic Ocean, on the northeast by the Atlantic Ocean, on the south by the U.S., and on
the west by the Pacific Ocean and Alaska.

Pic 3 - Map of Canada

Canada's geography is notable for its diversity and vastness. This North American
country occupies the largest part of the continent, with a territorial extension that
extends over approximately 9,984,670 square kilometres, making it the second largest
country in the world by area, surpassed only by Russia.

Canada's far north lies in the


frozen grip of the Arctic, where
ice, snow, and glaciers
dominate the landscape. Few
trees grow here, and farming is
not practical. Native Canadians,
called First Nations people, live
in this region by hunting and
fishing.

CANADA 6
AGRUPAMENTO DE ESCOLAS ROMEU CORREIA – 10TH A2 – ENGLISH
The national capital is Ottawa, Canada’s fourth largest city. It lies some 400 kilometres
northeast of Toronto and 200 kilometres west of Montreal, respectively Canada’s first
and second cities in terms of
population, and economic,
cultural, and educational
importance.
The third largest city is
Vancouver, a centre for trade
with the Pacific Rim countries
and the principal western
gateway to Canada’s
developing interior.
Pic 5 - Ottawa

Other major metropolitan areas include Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta; Quebec city,
Quebec; and Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Canada’s geographical location is fundamental to its identity as a nation and to its global
relations. Its vastness and geographical diversity have not only shaped its natural
environment, but also influenced its history, culture and economy.

There are ten Canadian provinces,


with three territories to the north.
The provinces are, Alberta, British
Columbia, Manitoba, New
Brunswick, Newfoundland and
Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario,
Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and
Saskatchewan. The three territories
are Northwest Territories, Nunavut,
and Yukon.
Pic 6 – States of Canada

CANADA 7
AGRUPAMENTO DE ESCOLAS ROMEU CORREIA – 10TH A2 – ENGLISH
The major difference between a Canadian province and a Canadian territory is that a
province is a creation of the Constitution Act (17? April 1982), while a territory is created
by federal law. Thus, the federal government has more direct control over the territories,
while provincial governments have many more competences and rights.

Each province and territory in Canada has its own government and jurisdiction over
determined areas of governance, including education, healthcare and transport.
Canada's federal government oversees matters of national importance, such as defence
and immigration.

In almost every part of Canada there are lakes and rivers. Canada has over 2 million
lakes covering 7% of the land mass.
The largest lake is the Northwest Territories’ Great Bear Lake.

Pic 7 – Great Bear Lake


It is estimated that Canada is home to one-
seventh of the world’s fresh water.

Most of the country is made up of plains and mountains. Approximately 90 per cent of
the more than 35 million people who live in Canada are located within 160 km of the US
border and around 75 per cent of the total population lives in large cities or towns.

CANADA 8
AGRUPAMENTO DE ESCOLAS ROMEU CORREIA – 10TH A2 – ENGLISH
Climate

The country of Canada is characterised by a wide variety of meteorological and


geological regions.
Oceans currents play an important role, with the warm waters of the Gulf Stream in the
Atlantic and the Alaskan Current in the Pacific affecting the climate.
Inland, the Great Lakes moderate the climate in both southern Ontario and Quebec. In
the east, the cold Labrador Current meets the Gulf Stream along the coast of
Newfoundland and Labrador, causing frequent fog.
The northern two-thirds of the country has a climate similar to northern Scandinavia,
with very cold winters and short, cool summers.
The south-central area of the interior plains has a typical continental climate - very cold
winters, hot summers and relatively little precipitation.
Southern Ontario and Quebec have a climate with hot, humid summers and cold, snowy
winters, similar to some parts of the American Midwest.
Except for the west coast, all of Canada has a winter season with average temperatures
below zero and continuous snow cover.

II.2. History

Pic 9 – The history of Canada

Canada has been an influential member of the Commonwealth and played a leading
role in the organisation of French-speaking countries known as La Francophonie.

It was a founding member of the United Nations and has been active in several
important UN agencies and other global operations.

In 1989, Canada joined the Organisation of American States and signed a free
trade agreement with the United States, a pact that was replaced in 1992 by the
North American Free Trade Agreement (which also includes Mexico).

A founding member (1961) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and


Development, Canada is also a member of the Group of Seven (G7), which
includes the world's seven largest industrial democracies.

From the end of the 15th century, French and British expeditions explored, colonised
and fought over various parts of North America, where Canada is today.
European exploration began with the arrival of John Cabot in Newfoundland in 1497.
French and British explorers soon followed, establishing fur trading relationships with the
indigenous peoples.

 The colony of New France was claimed in 1534, with permanent settlements
beginning in 1608.

CANADA 10
AGRUPAMENTO DE ESCOLAS ROMEU CORREIA – 10TH A2 – ENGLISH
 France ceded almost all of its North American possessions to the United
Kingdom in 1763 in the Treaty of Paris after the Seven Years' War.

 The region now known as Canada has been the scene of several colonising
instances. During the Ancient Ages, the east coast of Canada was occupied by
the French. This can be seen in the many buildings left behind by these peoples.
However, their colonisation was unsuccessful.

 Between 1534 and 1542, Jacques Cartier made three voyages across the
Atlantic, claiming the land for King Francis I of France.
Cartier heard two captured guides speak the Iroquoian
word Kanata, meaning “village.”
By the 1550s, the name of Canada began appearing on
maps.
Jacques Cartier was the first European to explore the St.
Lawrence River and to set eyes on present-day Québec
City and Montreal.
Pic 10 – Jacques Cartier

 At the beginning of the 17th century, Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec,


marking the beginning of New France (a French colony).

 After a series of conflicts, the


British won control of Canada
through the Treaty of Paris in
1763. The Quebec Act of 1774
recognised the rights of French-
speaking Catholics and helped
establish a basis for cooperation
between the British and French
Canadians.
Pic 11 – The Quebec Act of 1774

CANADA 11
AGRUPAMENTO DE ESCOLAS ROMEU CORREIA – 10TH A2 – ENGLISH
 In 1812, the United States invaded Lower Canada and Upper Canada in an
attempt to annex the rest of the British colonies in North America, triggering the
War of 1812. The United States were unsuccessful, retreating when they learnt of
the arrival of British troops sent to fight them, but they temporarily occupied the
cities of York (now Toronto) and Quebec, burning them as they withdrew.

Canada expanded westwards through treaties with the indigenous peoples and the
conclusion of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885, linking the country from east to
west.

Canada also played significant roles in both World Wars and emerged as a key ally of
the British Empire.
After the First World War, Canada became a member of the League of Nations. Canada
gained full legislative independence from the United Kingdom through the Statute of
Westminster in 1931.
In the years after the war, Canada experienced significant economic growth and a rise in
prosperity. It also saw the expansion of social welfare programmes and a growing role
on the international stage.

Canada's history is marked by diverse indigenous cultures, European exploration and


colonisation, confederation and significant contributions to the world through wars,
diplomacy and social policies. It continues to evolve as a diverse and multicultural
nation.

II.3. Economy

Canada's economy is a highly developed mixed economy in the


world in 2023, and a nominal GDP of approximately US$2.089
trillion.

CANADA 12
AGRUPAMENTO DE ESCOLAS ROMEU CORREIA – 10TH A2 – ENGLISH
Canada is one of the world's biggest commercial nations, with a highly internationalised
economy being one of the most influential worldwide capitalist roots, favoured by its
proximity to the United States.
As an example, we can highlight the technology, automotive, Pic 12 - Maple leaf

petrochemical and machinery.

The Canadian population has a high standard of living, making the consumer market
rather strong. Canada is also featured in their manufactured exports.

Canada is a country that invests heavily in the development of cutting-edge technology,


driven by excellent research centres and universities. The country includes the NAFTA
bloc1 also formed by the United States and Mexico.
Canada is a country with a strong and stable economy whose population enjoys good
quality of life and employment opportunities.

One of the world’s largest economies; leading global financier and macroeconomic
partner; largest US trading partner; key timber and oil and gas industries; Canada sends
over half its development aid to the World Bank.

The currency of Canada is the Canadian Dollar,


which is often symbolized as "CAD" or
represented by the currency code "C$". The
Canadian Dollar is further subdivided into 100
cents, and it is used throughout Canada for daily
transactions and as the official currency of the
country.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was implemented to promote trade between the
U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The agreement, which eliminated most tariffs on trade between the three
countries, went into effect on January 1 st , 1994.

CANADA 13

Canada's two official languages are English and French.


Canada has a big linguistic diversity across its
ten provinces, with large cities like Toronto
and Vancouver filled with languages from
around the world.
About 55,9% of Canada’s total population are
English native speakers and 20% of Canada’s
total population are French native speakers.
The other 24,1%, are the Immigrant
languages native speakers. Pic 14 - Flags of England and France

AGRUPAMENTO DE ESCOLAS ROMEU CORREIA – 10TH A2 – ENGLISH
also corresponds to the harvest festival where people decorate churches and
sing the hymn in English.

 Beaver tails
Canadians usually eat a dessert called
beaver tail. This tail appeared in 1988
whose founder was Killaloe Ontario.
This Tail is a fried dough made with
whole wheat flour and handmade to

II.4.3. Art

 Sculpture
Art in Canada is marked by thousands of years of habitation by Indigenous peoples
including artists of European origin and artists from other
countries. Several indigenous people created many
sculptures that have been preserved for several years. One
of these sculptures is known as the Haida Totem, which is
located in western Canada. This sculpture is a type of art
made up of several pillars carved with symbols and figures.
This totem was created many millions of years ago by a
people called the Ojibwe to represent the sacred animals
and the legends that each one had.
Pic 19 – Haida Totem

 Music
Canada is a country where there are many types of music such as heavy metal rock,
pop jazz and hip-hop. Many of the world's best-known musicians began their careers in
Canada, such as Bryan Adams or Céline Dion. But
before these musicians, Canada already had another
type of music, which was the classical music that was
sung by French colonists in XIV century. Despite
having their own music, these colonists tried to get
closer to the music sung by the indigenous population.

Pic 20 – Canadian music


 Theatre
Canada also has many theatres such as the Theatre
Museum in Toronto, which was founded in 1982 by

CANADA 16
AGRUPAMENTO DE ESCOLAS ROMEU CORREIA – 10TH A2 – ENGLISH

II.5.2. Natural landscapes

Canada natural landscapes, stretching across nearly 10 million square kilometers,


offer a breathtaking display of geographic diversity. From the soaring peaks of the
Rocky Mountains in the west, reaching heights of over 3,000 meters, the serene
lakes of the ancient Canadian Shield in the east, and the picturesque coasts of the
Maritimes, each region has its own allure.

The country boasts a network of over 40 national parks and reserves, including
UNESCO-listed sites like Nahanni National Park Reserve and other Canadian
wonders. These protected areas safeguard the country’s rich ecosystems. In the
northern parts of Canada, the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) grace the skies over
200 days annually.

While there are many natural attractions in Canada, some are more famous than
others. Niagara Falls, the Rockies, the Cabot Trail, Nahanni National Park Reserve,
the Northern Lights, and the Bay of Fundy are among the top 7 natural wonders of
Canada. Landscapes in Canada are varied, so it’s worth visiting different provinces
and regions.

Here are some examples:

The Valley of the Ten Peaks is in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, in the
Canadian Rockies.
The ten peaks are to be found above Moraine Lake. As their name suggests,
these are ten jagged snowy mountain peaks adjacent to one another overlooking
Moraine Lake, and casting their reflections upon its pristine blue waters?

And here are now the five most natural wonders to see in Canada:

 Moraine Lake
Moraine Lake is a glacially fed lake and its located 14 kilometres outside of the hamlet of
Lake Louise. This lake is situated in the Valley of Ten Peaks at an elevation of
approximately 1884 meters.

CANADA 21
AGRUPAMENTO DE ESCOLAS ROMEU CORREIA – 10TH A2 – ENGLISH
It has a vivid turquoise colour; this colour is caused by rocks gridding underneath the ice
as the nearby glacier moves.

III.1. Other Curiosities

 The word Canada is derived from the indigenous word Kanata, which means
“settlement” or “village” in the language of the St. Lawrence Iroquoians. Sadly,
these indigenous people disappeared in the 16th century, during wars with the
Mohawk? who wanted a monopoly on trade with Europeans at the time.
 There is symbolism in both the design and the colours of the national flag of
Canada. The colours are meant to symbolize hope and prosperity, as well as
peace, tranquillity and neutrality. The maple leaf design represents the cultural
heritage of the nation and the natural resources of Canada.
 Canada has national parks that are bigger than many countries. Wood Buffalo
National Park in Albert is bigger than Denmark and Switzerland (just over 44,000
square kilometres) and Nahanni National Park Reserve in the Northwest
Territories is bigger than Israel with over 30,000 square kilometres.
 Canada has just under 400 million hectares of forest. 10% of the world’s forests
are in Canada.
 Lacrosse is the national sport of Canada. Lacrosse was actually first played by
First Nations people in the 1600s, first picked up by Canada’s Anglophone middle
classes in the 19th century, was official – by an act of parliament in 1994 –
declared to be the national sport of Canada.
 Canadians participate in a wide array of sports and other recreational activities.
Sports play an important role in the Canadian school system, largely the result of
the country’s well-coordinated network of governmental and non-governmental
agencies devoted to physical education.
 Canadians love mac and cheese (macaroni and cheese), or, as they call it, Kraft
Dinner. Every year around seven million of these boxes of macaroni are sold
around the world, and Canada buys a large proportion of them; that's around 1.7

CANADA 26
AGRUPAMENTO DE ESCOLAS ROMEU CORREIA – 10TH A2 – ENGLISH
million boxes of Kraft Dinner. Americans consume the most, but Canadians eat
around 55% more macaroni and cheese than their neighbours to the south.
