Is the Canadian shield a province?
No. The Canadian Shield is not a province but a landform somewhat in the shape of a shield. If you look at a map of Canada, you may notice the great lakes. If you look to the west and then toward the north west toward the Arctic other lakes continue the pattern of the great lakes. If you look to the east of the great lakes you will notice the St. Lawrence River opens up something like a large lake. Those lakes provide the border of the Canadian Shield. It was an area numerous glaciers scraped clean. It also contains the oldest surface rock in North America. (Newer rock probably once graced its land. It became terminal moraines such as Long Island, New York.) The Shield is found in several provinces.
