South the U.S.A. Geography 90% of Quebec's territory lies within the Canadian Shield The Eastern Canadian forests cover the Appalachian Mountains Climate Most of central Quebec has a subarctic climate. Winters are long, very cold, and snowy. Summers are warm but very short. History At the time of first European contact and later colonization, Algonquian, Iroquoian and Inuit tribes were the peoples who inhabited what is now Quebec. Hélène Desportes, born July 7, 1620, to the French habitants (settlers) Pierre Desportes and his wife Françoise Langlois, was the first child of European descent born in Quebec
terrain and contains thousands of lakes. These lakes are the sources of rivers that break into great rapids and waterfalls used for hydroelectric production, providing power for pulp and paper mills, and a variety of other industries. Relatively few people live in the Canadian Shield because of its poor soil and cold climate. The Canadian Shield has much of Canada's mineral wealth, producing most of the country's iron ore. Central Canada, which includes Ontario and Quebec, is not really the geographic centre of Canada. The region gets its name because, historically, it has been the centre of political and economic power in the country. Canada's capital city is Ottawa, Ontario. Toronto and Montreal are the two largest cities in Canada. Central Canada is also the most heavily populated and industrialized area of Canada, particularly in the south around the Great Lakes and the St Lawrence River. The Great Lakes are the largest body of fresh water in the world
Canada. Canada is a very big country in the continent of North America. It is about 10 million square kilometres and that makes it the second largest country in the world after Russia. Quebec (the province) is six times as big as the UK. Canada borders the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Arctic Ocean and the USA. The capital of Canada is Ottawa and other main cities are Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. It is a very developed country. Montreal is the largest city and it is called the Paris of North America because most of the people there speak French. The population of Canada is 28 million people. It is a very multicultural country
settlement was called Port Royal. By 1607, France wanted to establish a new French settlement along the St. Lawrence River. French went there and came back and in 1610, some of them returned. They were the ancestors of the French speaking Acadian people in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick today. Champlain is also known as the "Father of New France", as he picked out the location of the first French settlement along the St. Lawrence River. The settlement was called Quebec. Most of the settlers died because of the winter and although Champlain tried to get more settlers, his efforts failed. By 1663, the population of New France was still very small. The settlers were trading and not farming or making settlements. Also war between French and the Iroquois made the settlers feel unsafe. Louis XIV ended the rule of fur traders and made New France a royal colony governed by the King. That ensured more settlers to come to New France. Still, by 1700, New
concentrated on the eastern side of the Canadian Rockies. The Saint Elias Mountains in the Yukon hold some of country's highest mountains, including the highest, Mount Logan at 5,959 metres. The Appalachian mountain range extends from Alabama in the southern United States through the Gaspe Peninsula and the Atlantic provinces, creating rolling hills indented by river valleys. It also runs through parts of southern Quebec. The Appalachian mountains are an old range of mountains about 380 million years old. Notable mountains in the Appalachians include Mount JacquesCartier and Mount Carleton. Lakes Canada is known for having the most lakes in the world. There are about two million of them and they cover about 7.6% of its land. The southern parts of Quebec and Ontario, in the
He sighted land on 24 June rediscovered of Canada's eastern shores and landed somewhere near Newfoundland, Maine or Cape Breton Island. King Henry VII gave him 10 pounds for "finding a new isle" and sponsored a new yoyage. Jaques Cartier did three expeditions to Canada. He sailed from Northern France in 1534, 1535-1536 and 1541-1542 and sailed up the St Lawerence River. He visited the sites of the present Quebec City and Montreal then Indian villages. Samuel de Champlain founded New France and Quebec City on July 3, 1608. He is important to Canadian history because he made the first accurate map of the coast and he helped establish the settlements. 9. Who founded the first permanent French settlement in Canada? Where? The first permanent French settlement attempt occurred in 1604 when Samuel de Champlain founded the first settlements in the Bay of Fundy region
melts the snow. Winters are mild and wet on the west coast, in cities such as Vancouver and Victoria. Territories and provinces Canada consists of 3 territories and 10 provinces. Very few people live in the territories, but it has more power on deciding important questions. Newest territoy is Nunawut, it became a territory in 1999. It was created from the eastern part od North- West territories. Quebec and Ontario are the biggest provinces. In the central part of Canada there are prairies and agriculture is very common. Alberta is rich in natural resources such as oil and natural gas. In Quebec and Ontario are many manufactories and industries. In the west there is maritime climate and so they fish and ship there. Toronto is the biggest city in Canada, with a population of 5,1 million people. It is
They survived in Nova Scotia but they soon decided that their settlement was too far from the centre of fur trade and they chose to establish a new settlement along the St. Lawrence river. Some people decided to go back to Nova Scotia and they are the ancestors of the French-speaking Acadian peole today. Samuel de Champlain established to first settlement along the St. Lawrence river because of that he is known as the "Father of New France". The settlement had a good harbour and it was called Quebec. Most of the settlers died during the first winter. Samuel de Champlain realised that the colony needed more settlers to keep it alive. Unfortunately there were only 65 settlers in Quebec by 1627. By 1663 the population of New France was still quite small. Louis XIV decided to make New France a royal colony governed by the King. It ensured that more settlers would come to colony and it encouraged farming and industry. By 1700 New France was still not as great colony as Louis XIV wanted
