Canada is a very big country, 10,000,000 sq km. It stretches for over 3,000 miles between the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Atlantic to the east. In the north Canada reaches the Arctic Circle and the North Pole. In the south the country borders on the United States of America. The summers here are hot and the winters are severely cold.

The landscape is really amazing. One can find here very high mountains and low-lying hills; fertile valleys and broad plains; rivers that flow into three oceans and thousands of different lakes. The mountains are covered with forests. Fertile valleys are worked on by farmers. There are cities and towns, villages and farms where people are active and busy.

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, its commercial and industrial city with the population of 1 million people. Montreal is a port and major commercial centre. Vancouver is a railroad, shipping and forest products manufacturing centre. Winnipeg is a major wheat market and railroad hub. Quebec City is a shipping, manufacturing and tourist centre.

Canada is a growing country. The population, 32 million people, is growing too, as people from many lands and countries have come here to make Canada their home. Canada’s industries are developing rapidly to supply the needs of the population. The country trades with many countries and is open for all the nations of the world.
