The traditional lifestyle of the Inuit

The name Inuit means the people. The Inuit arrived in Canada about 1000 years ago, looking for whales to hunt. Their way of life has been influenced by their environment. Nothing grows in the snow so they have traditionally been hunters and fishermen, with their main food coming from caribou (a type of reindeer), whales, polar bears and foxes. Traditionally, they used the skins of these animals to make clothes and boats, the oil for cooking and the bones to make tools. Although their modern lifestyle is now very different, the Inuit are worried by climate change.

Vancouver

Vancouver is a port with snow-covered mountains nearby. It has a very mild climate and it is one of the few cities in the world where you can go skiing and sailing on the same day. People who live in Vancouver enjoy a high quality of life.

Quebec City

Quebec City dates from 1608. Its inhabitants speak French because it was once a French colony. Since 1974, French has been the only official language in the province, but most people also speak English. The 17th-century walls that surround the city’s Old Town are a UNESCO World Heritage site.
