The Huron-Iroquois word for "village" or "settlement” was kanata.The first use of "Canada" as an official name came in 1791 when the Province of Quebec was divided into the colonies of Upper and Lower Canada. Geographical Position Canada is the world's second-largest country (after Russia), and is the largest country in North America. Canada is situated in the north of Northern America, washed by the Atlantic Ocean in the east, the Pacific Ocean in the west, and the Arctic Ocean in the north and in the northeast by the Baffin Bay and the Davis Strait, which separate it from Greenland, In the south and in the north Canada borders with the USA. The 49th parallel was chosen as a border from the Great Lakes to the west coast. Territories and Provinces Politically, Canada is divided into 10 provinces and 3 territories. The constitution also indicates what provinces are a part of Canada and what the powers those provinces have. Territories on the other hand are created by Federal Law. That means the territories have a bit less power than the provinces. Climate • Canada is often associated with cold weather and snow, but in reality, its climate is as diverse as its landscape.  Generally, Canadians enjoy four very distinct seasons, particularly in the more populated regions along the US border. Daytime summer temperatures can rise to 35°C and higher, while lows of -25°C are not uncommon in winter. More moderate temperatures are the norm in spring and fall.   Landscape  There are an estimated two million lakes in Canada, covering approximately 7.6% of its land area. The largest are the Great Lakes, which are shared between the US and Canada. Other large lakes include Great Bear Lake and Great Slave Lake in the NW Territories and Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba. Natural Resources Population Languages French and English are the official languages, though English is more widely spoken than French. Nearly 60 percent of the population speak English and 27 percent speak French. The rest speaks other languages, such as Eskimo, Indian, German, Ukrainian and Italian.

It is "impossible" to choose a single national dish, because of their broad diversity of ethnic populations and cultures. Along the Atlantic coast, seafood and dishes derived from English traditions (except in Quebec) are common. In Quebec, favorite foods come from the area's French heritage. Throughout Canada, maple syrup and maple products are popular, reflecting the significance of the maple tree, whose leaf adorns the flag of Canada. Many families enjoy a visit in early spring to a maple sugar "shack," the special rustic building where sap from maple trees is boiled in a large open pan to make maple syrup.
