The first inhabitants of Canada were Asian tribes who crossed the

Bering Strait bridge between Alaska and Siberia, more than 20 000 Ac
during the Pleistocene epoch.
The first European contacts were through the
arrival of Viking adventurers, but did not stay
for long, especially given the aggressive natives
residing in the region.
Human presence, according to archaeologists, northern Yukon,
is set approximately 25,000 year ago, and in the Ontario region
10,000 years ago.
The first inhabitants of the territory that now comprises Canada
were the "First Nations", the Inuit and Mtis.
Archaeological and genetic studies prove human presence in the
northern Yukon from 26,500 years ago.

In the center of the great Canadian Shield is a large arc that forms the bay of
Hudson.
To the west is the northern part of the chain of the Rockies.

On the west coast, we found the contact between the North American and Pacific
plates, so it is an area prone to earthquakes and volcanic phenomena.
The Canadian crag is divided into two sectors:
the Paleozoic rocks, metamorphic rocks, from granite and gneiss, to slates.
and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks, limestones, mainly on rising Alpine
Mountains of the Rockies.

The mountainous area begins in the north, with the British
and Richardson Mountains.

The various ranges that make up the set are separated by narrow,
elongated depressions, reaching the coast.
Canada has nearly 8% of its surface covered
by water, including rivers and lakes.
There are many lakes, mostly glacial or
periglacial.
Canada has frontage to three oceans: the Atlantic,
the east, the Pacific, the west and the Arctic north.
The main seas, gulfs, bays, estuaries:
Seas: Beaufort Sea and Labrador Sea Lincoln Sea.
Gulfs and bays: the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Baffin Bay, Hudson Bay,
Bay of Fundy Chaleur Bay, James Bay and Gulf of Alaska.
Despite how great Canadian climates to be found in the country are few.
Generally winters are cold, long and dry. At the north end are reached
-50 C.
The southern coastal regions and around the Great Lakes are given
temperate climates, much more moderate, Montreal and Vancouver reach
temperatures between 25 and 30 C.
Climates that we can find in Canada:
Climate of the polar cap: This climate
occurs in the far north.
Tundra climate: This climate occurs in
polar climate borders and extends in a
narrow strip from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic,
along the coast of the Arctic and northern Labrador
Peninsula.



Climates of boreal forests: This is the most extensive climate in Canada.
Occupies the rest of the northern half of the country, above 50 latitude,
and extends south in the Rocky Mountains.


Humid continental climate: In Canada this is the climate that occupies
more extension because it is the transition between the dry climate of
the midlatitudes and the maritime climate of the west coast, on the one
hand and the humid subtropical climate in the east.

The animals of Canada are very similar or identical to those of northern Europe
and Asia.
Among the highlights carnivorous species of the weasel subfamily, such as the
ermine, sable or sable, wolverine and mink.
Other carnivores representative are the black bear, the grizzly bear, lynx, wolf,
coyote, fox and skunk.
The polar bear is scattered
all Arctic regions.
The elk and bison are found in several western regions.
In the mountains of British Columbia abound bighorn sheep or goat Canada
and the Rockies.
The flora of the entire northern Canada's Arctic and subarctic.
Much of the Maritimes is forested hardwood trees and conifers.
The prairie provinces maintain natural grassland.
In the coastal ranges, especially on the western slopes, there are dense forests
of large evergreen trees.
Bay of Fundy: The Bay of Fundy covers two Canadian provinces,
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The tides in this bay are the highest
in the world, with an increase of 15 meters in six hours. This area was
declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.
Ontario Science Center, Toronto: The mission of this interactive museum is
"to delight, inform and challenge visitors through participation and reflection,
through experiences of science and technology."
La Ronde, Montreal: The second of two amusement parks in this list,
La Ronde is the tallest roller coaster in the world, among other attractions.
Jasper National Park, Alberta: Grizzly bears, elk and goats roam the mountains
northeast of the Canadian Rockies. Visitors come to marvel at the Columbia
Icefield, a mass of snow which feeds glaciers eight grades.
CN Tower, Toronto:
With a height of half a mile, this tower has lost the
honor of being the tallest building in the world for
a skyscraper in Dubai. It offers a 360 degree
panoramic Toronto area with glass floor.
Niagara Falls, Ontario: The legendary falls are the main attraction in
the U.S., and not surprisingly it is the main attraction of Canada.
January 1 is as in much of the
world New Year's Day.
May 20 marks the Day of Queen
Victoria.
July 1st National Day of Canada.
September 1 Labor Day.
October 14 is the Day of Thanksgiving.
November 1 Day of the Dead.
Christmas on December 25th and the
next day we celebrate the feast of St. Stephen.
The first day of the year in Vancouver,
performed "Swimming with White
Bears". 274 meters is nothing to an average
temperature of 6 degrees. Within the same
celebration in Victoria Park takes an event where
fireworks are thrown all night.
In Quebec, in February carnivals are developed. For eleven days the city is full
of people who come to the shows at night.
Also in February but in the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, the world's largest,
Winterlude takes place. This is a show ranging from balloon rides to ice ballet.
