Canada is a huge country. It is bigger than India, China or the USA and nearly as large as Europe, but it has a smaller

population than Poland. North part of Canada is very cold. Forests cover most of central part of the country and there are wild,
beautiful mountains in the west. Most Canadians live in the south, along the American border.

There is also a big population of the Inuits (native American Eskimos) in the north of the country. Their life is very difficult.

The winters are long and cold, the summers are short and cool. Some Inuits still live in small houses made from ice called igloos and
they travel on dog sledges.
The native peoples of Canada are Indians: Creeks, Mohawks, Iroquois and Sioux. Now, only 1% of population are Indians.

The first immigrants from Europe arrived in Canada in the 16 century. They were mainly from England and France, so now

people speak English and French there. The population of the country is about 32 million and most of people live in the towns. Not
many people live in the countryside but the Canadians have summer houses near lakes and rivers and enjoy having holidays there.

There are thirty-nine national parks and people love camping there.

The Canadians love winter sports. The most popular are skiing, skating and ice hockey.
