Canada Provinces and Territories

There are many Canadian Provinces. However, only one borders the Pacific Ocean: British Columbia. British Columbia, or BC, is the westernmost Canadian Province. It is the 3rd largest Province, occupying about 10% of Canada's land surface. It's Provincial flower is Pacific Dogwood. It is bounded by Yukon and Northwest Territories to the north, the panhandle of Alaska forms about half of the western boundary. British Colombia has over 27,000 kilometers of coastline. British Columbia is about the same size of France, Germany, and the Netherlands. It is one of the few places on this planet with a temperate rainforest. The Provincial Capitol is Victoria.

Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador are referred to as Atlantic provinces.

Most of the Atlantic Provinces lie on the Canadian Shield. This is a vast rock base that features a lot of forests, hills, and lakes. It is not suitable for large-scale agriculture; however, timber and minerals are plentiful.

Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Quebec is the Canadian province with the most freshwater, 176,928 square kilometres. Northwest Territories is the Canadian territory with the most freshwater, 163,021 square kilometres.

The climate of the prairie provinces does vary depending on how far north ( or south ) you are in that province.

The further north you go, the winters are very very cold with very short daylight hours, and the summer has long daylight hours, and can get to be quite hot.

There can be a lot of snow on the ground, and the waters are frozen for roughly six months of the year.

In the south, the temperatures are milder in general, but the winters can still produce some bitter cold temperatures and a lot of snow. The southern part of the prairies is also very windy, with 80km/h winds not uncommon. In summer, it can reach 35º or more.

It is a major July "event" whose centerpiece is a Rodeo with one of the largest purses in the sport. It is much more then a rodeo however and is noteworthy for the chuck wagon race known as the Rangeland Derby and it features an opening parade attended by 350,000 viewers, an agricultural exhibition, a midway, arts and crafts market, concerts and a Native American Pow-Wow. It is held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Quebec has a bigger area than Ontario does.

The eastern or maritime provinces of Canada are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean.

In 1873, the population of Prince Edward Island was about 95,000 people. It was one of the more populous parts of Canada at that time.

Bristish Columbia is 364764 square miles, it is the Western most Province of Canada, and due to its large size has seven climactic zones, from a rain forest on the coast to an actual desert in the interior. In Comparison to Texas, which comes in at 268601 square miles. Therefore BC is 1.4 times the size of Texas. In total the USA is 3,537,441 square miles, therefore BC represnets about 10% by comparison.

New Brunswick

Canada West didn't join confederation. It was the name given to what had been Upper Canada before it joined with Lower Canada to become the Province of Canada. This united province then confederated with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in 1867 and was split into Ontario and Quebec.

One of the reasons Canada sought confederation with its neighbouring colonies was to resolve its own political deadlock between the primarily English Canada West and the primarily French Canada East. Other influences included the desire to build an inter-colony rail road, as well as the desire to strengthen British North America against attack by the United States.

Canada had 12 for many years, but recently sub-divied one territory into two, and therefore has 13 provcinces and territories. The ten provinces are: Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia. The three territories are: Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.

These are the 7 landforms of Canada

1. Innuitian Mountains

2. Arctic Lowlands

3. Western Cordillera

4. Interior Plains

5. Canadian Shield

6. Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands

7. Appalachian Mountains

The Islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon are just barely off the south coast of Newfoundland and are part of France, yet technically are within our territorial waters (can't get closer than that). They would make them the closest to Canada. Then the US, which shares the longest border with Canada. So the US would be a possible second (but read on). Then Russia, which has the Arctic opposite ours (joins against our territory but does not infringe / technically and legally as close as the US). Then Denmark, which has Greenland (also borders our territory and waters / technically and legally as close as the US).

As far as provinces go, British Columbia (particulary the northern part of it) would fit the bill. The Yukon and Northwest Territories are in Canada's western and northern land, although they are territories and not provinces.
