Canada Where Is It? Canada is the biggest country in North America. It is so big that it reaches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Canada is farther north than most other countries. Canada has only one neighbor, the United States. Ottawa is the country's capital. The city's buildings are fun to visit. People. Nearly all Canadians speak French, English, or both. People come from far-away countries to live in Canada. Together, all of these different people make Canada strong. Most Canadians live in big cities in the south of Canada. Few people live in the far north. Land. Canada has many different landforms. In the west are rows of steep mountains. Then there are flat or rolling plains. A high flat area with thousands of lakes is in the middle. The land in the south is where most of the cities are. In the east are hills. In the north, the land is covered with ice and snow. Animals. Some animals live only in the cold north. Others live only in the mountains or forests. Polar bears and baby harp seals live in the north. They both have white fur to hide on the snow. Big sheep live in the mountains. They have feet that help them climb rocks. Many animals in Canada move in winter and spring. Canada geese fly south every winter. They return in the spring when it is warmer. Celebrations. All across Canada, people celebrate winter. There are festivals for ice-skating and ice carving. There are dogsled races across the snow. The biggest winter festival is in Quebec City. There is an ice castle to visit and games to play. Conclusion. Canada is a very big country with many different landforms and animals. It has many different people, too. Canadians say their differences make them strong.
