    CANADA : PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES


    Canada is one of the largest countries in the world. It is located in the northern half of the
    continent of North America, above the United States. Canada is divided into ten provinces and
    three territories, each of which is different from the others.
    The province of British Columbia is located at the far western end of Canada. British
    Columbia stretches from the Pacific Ocean, at the west, to the Rocky Mountains, at the east.
    British Columbia contains the city of Vancouver, where two million people live. Most of the land of
    British Columbia is very mountainous, with vast forests covering the mountains. In British
    Columbia, forestry is an important industry, providing wood for people around the world.
    Moving east from British Columbia, the next provinces are Alberta, Saskatchewan, and
    Manitoba. These are known as the prairie provinces, because they are mostly made of flat, grassy
    land called "prairie." Alberta is the province where the flat prairie meets the tall and beautiful
    Rocky Mountains. In Alberta, there are many fields where oil and gas are found, and there are also
    many farms where cattle are raised. Saskatchewan is the Canadian province that grows the most
    wheat. Wheat from Saskatchewan is sent around the world to make bread and pasta for many
    people. Manitoba is the other prairie province. Its largest city, Winnipeg, is about halfway between
    the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Winnipeg has the coldest winters of any large city in the world,
    with temperatures sometimes reaching -40 degrees Celsius!
    Moving east, the next province is Ontario. The land in the northern part of Ontario is very
    rocky and contains many thousands and thousands of lakes. Many mines are found in northern
    Ontario. In the southern part of Ontario, there is good farmland, and there are also many cities
    where factories produce cars and steel. Ontario contains Canada's largest city, Toronto, as well as
    the capital city of Canada--Ottawa. In the southern part of Ontario are four of the largest lakes in
    the world, known as the Great Lakes.
    Next to Ontario is the province of Quebec. Unlike the other provinces, where most people
    speak English, most of the people in Quebec speak French. The capital of Quebec is called Quebec
    City, and this is one of the oldest cities in North America. Quebec City contains many buildings
    that are hundreds of years old. Also in the province of Quebec is the city of Montreal. Of all the
    French-speaking cities in the world, only Paris is larger than Montreal!
    In the eastern part of Canada are the Atlantic provinces, which are next to the Atlantic

    Ocean. These provinces are New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and
    Newfoundland. In the Atlantic provinces, fishing is an important industry. Tourism is also
    important as many people come to see the beauty of these provinces. The people in these
    provinces are said to be the friendliest in Canada. In the far north of Canada are the three
    territories that lie beside the Arctic Ocean: Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. Many of
    the people in these territories are the Native people of Canada, known as the Indians and the Inuit.
    The northern areas have very cold, dark winters. The summer is short, but the days are very long
    and bright.
