Canada is the second largest country. Canada streaches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and from the high Arctic to the northern border of the USA. Although very much a northern country, Canada's terrain and geography is very diverse, as well as the popular image of Canada being a country of pristine forests and snowy vistas, of the CN Tower and Niagara Falls, there are also deserts and badlands, temperate rain forests and long and wide sandy beaches. Canada has huge inland lakes and evergreen forests, woodlands and meadows and Canada's coastlines are thousands of miles long, with fjords, and long wild rivers leading down to the oceans.

Canada also share of urban areas with the majority of the population and heavy industry in the two provinces of Ontario and Quebec. But, large and modern cities are spread right across the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, all within a few hours drive from the border with the United States. The heritage of the native peoples along with French and British pioneer traditions all give Canada a complex three-dimensional character. Add to this constant flows of culture and style coming from the USA, along with host of traditions and ideals being brought over from Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America by its migrants, there is now a thriving multi-cultural society already forming a real Canadian national identity.
