∙ 13y ago
The "Canadian shield" (Laurentian or Archaean plateau) stretches from the Northwest Territories across the country to the east, including parts of Manitoba and Ontario and most of Quebec. The Canadian Rockies cover substantially less territory, from south of the McKenzie Range (Northwest Territories) and Yukon, through Alberta and British Columbia to the US border.
