Today Canada is one of the
most ethnically and racially
diverse countries in the
world, ranking next to the
United Kingdom, Singapore and
the United States as one of
the world's most pluralistic
societies. Canada’s dynamic
multiculturalism can be
attributed to its unique
combination of Indigenous
cultures, early European
settlement and immigration
from all parts of the world.
Canada is a land of many
cultures and many peoples.
It is
said to be a "nation of
immigrants."
Canada consists of 10
provinces and three
territories in five main
regions: the Atlantic area,
Central Canada, the Prairies,
the West Coast and the North.
The culture and population
are different in each region.
The Atlantic region consists
of the provinces of Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince
Edward Island, and
Newfoundland and Labrador. In
these provinces, main
industries include fishing,
farming, forestry, tourism
and mining.
Central Canada consists of
the provinces of Ontario and
Quebec. These two provinces
together account for almost
half of Canada’s population.
The Prairies include the
provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta. The
land is largely flat and
fertile, excellent for
farming and rich in energy
resources. In Alberta, the
Rocky Mountains begin, and
include some of the largest
peaks in North America.
On the West Coast, the
province of British Columbia
is famous for its mountain
ranges and forests. Natural
resources such as lumber and
fish are considered the
cornerstone of the economy.
The North consists of
Canada's three territories:
Yukon, the Northwest
Territories and Nunavut.
Together, they account for
1/3 of Canada's land mass.
Northern resources include
oil, natural gas, gold, lead
and zinc.
Canada is a confederation,
with a parliamentary monarch.
Being a confederation means
that powers and
responsibilities are divided
between the federal
government and the 10
provincial governments.
Canada also has three
territorial jurisdictions.
Canada has three levels of
government: federal,
provincial and municipal
(cities and towns). These
governments are elected by
the citizens of Canada.
Canada has a diversified
economy. Canada’s economy is
based on natural resources
industries, such as forestry,
mining, oil and gas
extraction, farming and
fishing, which account for
large numbers of jobs and
revenue for Canada. Canada is
also known as a leader in the
areas of telecommunications,
biotechnology, aerospace
technologies and
pharmaceuticals. Canada is a
member nation of North
American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) along with the USA
and Mexico.
Under the Official Languages
Act, Canada is an officially
bilingual country.
Consequently, Canadians have
the right to get federal
government services in
English or French, no matter
what part of Canada they are
living in.
Canada is predominantly a
Christian country. However,
all religions are represented
in its multicultural and
secular society. Canadians
respect the freedom of people
to practice their choice of
religion. Churches, mosques,
temples and synagogues are
located in most major cities.
