1. Historically, Canada has been influenced by British, French and aboriginal cultures and traditions. Many Canadians see their country as a multicultural mosaic – a collection of several regional, aboriginal, and ethnic subcultures. For example, aboriginal peoples continue to influence the Canadian identity through their language, art, and music. At the same time English influence is stronger in English Canada while French influence dominates in French Canada.

2. Ottawa, the capital of Canada, is one of the country’s most attractive cities. It’s the public face of Canada for many people so the city has been kept lovely and welcoming. It has many parks, museums, art galleries and universities. Some of Ottawa’s historic buildings go back to the early 1800s.

3. About 77 per cent of Canadians live in cities and towns. The largest city in Canada is Toronto. If you ever go there, you’ll see one of the world’s tallest buildings, the CN Tower. Toronto is the country’s business centre and home to the largest companies and banks.

4. Canada’s official languages are English and French. But many other languages are spoken there, including Inuktitut (the language of the Inuit, or Eskimos) and other Canadian Indian languages. Canadian Indians are also known as First Nations people.

5. In 1999, one half of Canada’s territory was officially returned to the Inuit people. The name of this new territory is Nunavut. In Inuktitut it means “Our land”. The Inuit live throughout most of the Canadian Arctic and subarctic in the northern third of Quebec, in Labrador and in various parts of the Northwest Territories, particularly around the Arctic Ocean.

6. The Vikings first landed in North America well before Christopher Columbus was even born. It happened about 1,000 years ago. But the territory of Canada had been inhabited for thousands of years before the Vikings arrived. The first people came to Canada from Siberia. It happened in the middle of the Ice Age, about 27,000 years ago. They crossed a bridge of land which joined Siberia and Alaska.

7. The Yukon is a territory in northwest Canada where the Klondike Gold Rush took place in the 1890s. Jack London came to the Yukon in September of 1897. He was 21 years old and full of hopes to find gold. Although he didn’t become rich, he later turned his Klondike adventures into fame and fortune with his legendary short stories and books.
