Canada is the second largest country in the world. But it has fewer people than many other countries that are much smaller. This is because much of Canada is a very cold place with long winters. In the northern islands it is often cold even in summer. Three oceans — the Pacific, the Atlantic and the Arctic — wash Canada. A lot of Canadians enjoy watching whales as a hobby. Special boats with whale watchers go out into the ocean. If they choose the right time and the right place, they have a 99 percent chance of seeing these wonderful animals. Canada is one of the richest countries in the world. Some of the country's riches are its huge forests that cover nearly half of the country's territory. Canada also has more lakes than any other country. Canada is rich in rivers too.

There are a lot of polar bears in Canada. Sometimes they even come to villages and towns looking for food. Polar bears are very big. They weigh up to 600 kilos. Polar bears may be dangerous, especially if you run away from them.

There are 42 national parks in Canada. People organized them to protect the forests, animals and plants. The oldest national park appeared in 1885 in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The Niagara Falls is one of the world's wonders. These beautiful waterfalls are situated on the border between Canada and the United States. This place is one of the greatest attractions for tourists.

Canada's official languages are English and French. But people speak many other languages in Canada too. Some of them are Canadian Indian languages. Indians were the native population of this country. Ottawa, the capital of Canada, is one of the country's most beautiful cities. It has many parks, museums, art galleries and universities. But the largest city in the country is not Ottawa. It's Toronto. If you ever go there, you'll see one of the tallest buildings in the world, the CN Tower. Toronto is the country's business centre and home to the largest companies and banks.
