What Is So Fascinating About

Backpackers In Canada?

Backpacking in Canada is a wonderfull experience especially for me. I visited this country last year in 2007. CANADA is a country that defies an effortless or elementary description. It is diverse in its geography, climate, economy, wildlife and fittingly, in its people. The country’s contrasts are beautiful ones, providing variety, mystery and challenge for all who reside in and visit this great land.

The contry’s motto, “FROM SEA TO SEA”, could be a way of saying it has everything in between. Massive mountains…wide, golden prairies…fierce rock, sculpturesque ice, dense forest, indomitable wilderness, sophisticated cities, farmland, parkland, valleys, rivers, lakes, oceans, arctic tundra, sand dunes,…all this and more is Canada.

Many people are surprised to learn that Canada is second in land area only to Russia-it is almost as big as all of Europe combined. This may be difficult to believe because Canada’s population is far from the top of the list. A relatively small population of just over 30 million lives in land that covers 9,970,610 square kilometres. But the Canadian people are not alone in this huge land-they share their lives with the wilds of nature. About 25 per cent of the country is covered in forest, among other unbridled examples of nature. This country is bordered by three oceans: The Pacific in the west, The Atlantic in the east and The Arctic in the north. Canada coastline is the longest of any country in the world.

The Provinces in Canada are:

Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and New Founland.
