Canada celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation. The 1967 International and Universal Exposition, or Expo 67 as it was commonly known, was the general exhibition, category one World's Fair held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada from April 27 to October 29 The "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" is a song by Gordon Lightfoot that describes the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. "Farewell to Nova Scotia" is a popular folk song from Nova Scotia of unknown authorship. It is believed to have been written just prior to or during the First World War. "Farewell to Nova Scotia" brings the listener back to an age when Nova Scotia was renowned for "wooden ships and iron men". Wooden Ships and Iron Men, now-classic 1924 book about the last days of the Age of Sail in Maritime Canada. Written by Frederick William Wallace.
National Capital Region (NCR), which encompasses Ottawa, Gatineau, and surroundings areas, having a population of over 1,451,000[6]. The National Capital Commission is a federal crown corporation charged with the responsibility of planning and managing the federal government's interests in the NCR.As with other national capitals. Ottawa The City of Halifax (est. 1841) was the capital of the province of Nova Scotia and shire town of Halifax County, and was the largest city in Atlantic Canada until it was amalgamated into Halifax Regional Municipality in 1996. It is no longer an incorporated city and is a community of HRM.The Town of Halifax was founded by British government under the direction of the Board of Trade and Plantations under the command of Governor Edward Cornwallis in 1749.[2] After a protracted struggle between residents and the Governor, the City of Halifax was incorporated in 1841
The Pacific border of the coast range is ragged with fjords and channels. The highest point in Canada is Mount Logan (6,050 m), which is in the Yukon. The two principal river systems are the Mackenzie and the St. Lawrence. The St. Lawrence, with its tributaries, is navigable for over 1,900 miles (3,058 km). Government: Canada is a federation of ten provinces (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan) and three territories (Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut). Formally considered a constitutional monarchy, Canada is governed by its own House of Commons. While the governor-general is officially the representative of Queen Elizabeth II, in reality the governor-general acts only on the advice of the Canadian prime minister. History: The first inhabitants of Canada were native Indian peoples, primarily the Inuit (Eskimo)
As a child, young Alexander Graham Bell displayed a natural curiosity about his world, resulting in gathering botanical specimens as well as experimenting even at an early age. In 1877 his telephone was patented, and the Bell Telephone Company was created, which was to make him millions. In the space of 18 years, Bell had to fight off 600 separate legal actions in relation to his telephone. He was granted the freedom of the City of Edinburgh in 1920, two years before he died at home in Nova Scotia, at age 75 . When he was buried, all telephone traffic in the United States was halted for one minute as a tribute to Bell and his work.

United States. These features help make the region a manufacturing centre, producing three- fourths of Canada's manufactured goods. Fertile soil and a mild climate enable farmers produce such important crops as barley, maize, soybeans, oats, fuits and vegetables. The region also has a large number of dairy farms. The Atlantic Provinces of the country include the Maritime provinces of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia, as well as Newfoundland and Labrador. Fishing, shipping, and farming are important activities for the people of this area. Along the coast, bays and inlets provide excellent harbours for fishing fleets. The Appalachian mountain range extends from Alabama in the southern United States through the Atlantic Provinces, creating rolling hills indented by river valleys. The Appalachian Mountains in this region are old, rounded mountains. Valleys in the region, are important farming
private fur-trading company that if the company brought settlers to New France then they would have a monopoly on the fur trade. Early attempts of colonization failed but the first permanent colony was established by a French nombleman and a mapmaker named Samuel de Champlain. Their first small community located in present-day New Brunswick which was called Acadia. There were really harsh climate conditions so they moved to a more sheltered harbour what is now Nova Scotia. 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
In 1604, French nobleman and a mapmaker named Samuel de Champlain established first permanent French settlement in the New World on an island. This area was called Acadia. When they moved to more sheltered harbour, the 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
United States to the south and northwest. Canada is a federation composed of ten provinces and three territories; in turn, these may be grouped into regions. Western Canada consists of British Columbia and the three Prairie provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba). Central Canada consists of Quebec and Ontario. Atlantic Canada consists of the three Maritime provinces (New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia), along with Newfoundland and Labrador. Eastern Canada refers to Central Canada and Atlantic Canada together. Three territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut) make up Northern Canada. Provinces have a large degree of autonomy from the federal government, territories somewhat less. Each has its own provincial or territorial symbols. Canada's two official languages are English and French. Official Bilingualism in
the way to Stadacona, site of present-day Quebec City. Cartier used Canada to refer not only to Stadacona, but also to the entire area subject to Donnacona, Chief at Stadacona; by 1547, maps began referring to this and the surrounding area as Canada. In 1864 and 1866, British North American politicians, in what became known as the Great Coalition, held three conferences to create a federal union. Spearheaded by John A. Macdonald, on July 1, 1867, three colonies--Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick--were granted a constitution, the British North America Act, by the United Kingdom, creating the Dominion of Canada. The term "Canadian Confederation" refers to this 1867 unification of the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec (formerly Canada East or Lower Canada), and Ontario (formerly Canada West or Upper Canada). The remaining British colonies and territories soon joined Confederation. By 1880
like games to Canada, such as the Irish sport of hurling, the closely related Scottish sport of shinty, and versions of field hockey played in England. Where necessary, these seem to have been adapted for icy conditions; for example, a colonial Williamsburg newspaper records hockey being played in a snow storm in Virginia. Early paintings show "shinney", an early form of hockey with no standard rules, being played in Nova Scotia in Canada. NHL The National Hockey League (NHL) is a professional ice hockey league composed of 30 teams in North America. It is considered to be the premier professional ice hockey league in the world and one of the North American major professional sports leagues. The Stanley Cup, the oldest professional sports trophy in North America is awarded annually to the league champion at the end of each season.

The nearest landmass is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, about 1,030 kilometres west-northwest. It is the oldest and most populous remaining British overseas territory, settled by England a century before the Acts of Union created the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Bermuda's first capital, St. George's, was settled in 1612 and is the oldest continuously inhabited English town in the Americas. Although commonly referred to in the singular, the
British Columbia has a climate much like the climate of southern England. The capital is the charming city of Victoria on Vancouver Island. More than three-fourths of all the manufacturing that goes on in Canada is carried on in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, much of it in the cities of Montreal and Toronto. Montreal is Canada's biggest city. Toronto is next in size. It is easy to Canada to send its products abroad. Novas Scotia stretches far out into the Atlantic. Ocean-going ships travel up the St. Lawrence River to Montreal. The St. Lawrence Seaway makes Toronto and other cities on the Great Lakes into inland seaports. The maple leave is the Canada's symbol.

Canadian Shield-a rocky landscape with lakes, rivers and forests that stretches over almost half of Canada. Central Canada includes Ontario and Quebec. It really isn't in the center of Canada but it's called Central Canada because of its historical political importance. It is the most heavily populated part. There are the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. This district is covered by the rocky Canadian Shield. The Atlantic Provinces consists of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, the Maritime provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador. Fishing, shipping and farming are important activities for the people of this area. The region has many small coastal communities but there are also major industrial centres such as Halifax and Sydney in Nova Scotia. There are mountains in this region. The Appalachians are there. They aren't like the mountains in the Pacific Region, they are old and rounded.

Great Lakes. Today, these waterways are still an important transportation route to Canada's interior. Though heavily populated, the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands in the south is only a small geographic region in Central Canada. The largest part is covered by the rocky Canadian Shield. In the far north we may find the Hudson Bay Lowlands that are swampy, cold and flat and with very few towns or cities. This easternmost region includes New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador. Fishing, shipping and farming are important activities in this area. The region has many small coastal communities, although there are also major industrial centers such as Halifax and Sydney in Nova Scotia. There are the Appalachian Mountains in this region but they are not at all like the grand, rugged mountains of the Pacific Region. The Appalachians are old, rounded mountains. Valleys in the region, such as the Annapolis Valley are important

The French influence continues to be felt in Canada. The French there were allowed to keep their religion, law system and language. Quebec was then divided into the English and French-speaking colony. Eventually, those colonies became the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Today, more than five million French-speaking descendants of those settlers live in Quebec. In 1867, four colonies (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia) were united into the Dominion of Canada. In the following years, the others followed. Only Newfoundland, discovered first by the British, remained independent until 1949. Canada is a democratic country. Political representatives are elected by citizens 18 years old and over. Canada has 3 levels of government: federal, provincial and municipal. The federal representatives are called Members of Parliament or MPs. Provincial representatives are called Members of the Legislative Assembly
The Frenchspeaking province of Canada (Quebec) is very different culturally. Since the 1960s there has been a strong movement to became an independent country (separatist movement). 80 % of Canada's French speaking people lives in Quebec. Canada has ten provinces and two territories (the capital of each is shown in parentheses): Alberta (Edmonton), British Columbia (Victoria), Prince Edwars Island (Charlottetown), Manitoba (Winnipeg), New Brunswick (Fredericton), Nova Scotia (Halifax), Nunavut (Iqaluit), Ontario (Toronto), Quebec (Quebec City), Saskatchewan (Regina), Newfoundland and Labrador (St. John's), Northwest Territories (Yellowknife) and Yukon Territory (Whitehorse). Geographically, Canada can be divided into five major regions: the Pacific Region, the Prairie Provinces, Central Canada, the Atlantic Provinces and the North. The Pacific Region includes Canada's westernmost province, British Columbia

Report of SCOTLAND Maiki Joakit 10. klass 2008 Etymology Scotland is from the Latin Scoti, the term applied to Gaels. The Late Latin word Scotia (land of the Gaels) was initially used to refer to Ireland. By the 11th century at the latest, Scotia was being used to refer to (Gaelic-speaking) Scotland north of the river Forth, alongside Albania or Albany, both derived from the Gaelic Alba. The use of the words Scots and Scotland to encompass all of what is now Scotland became common in the Late Middle Ages. History Repeated glaciations, which covered the entire land-mass of modern Scotland, have destroyed any traces of human habitation that may have existed before the Mesolithic period. It is believed that the first post-glacial

In the autumn, the tree's leaves, Canada's national symbol, are ablaze in red, orange and gold. The sap is collected in Canada, Kärt Kalvet 8a spring and evaporated to make maple syrup and sugar, a culinary delicacy first prepared and used by the Aboriginal North American peoples. Appalachian Region - The Atlantic Provinces New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland are the smallest Canadian provinces, and were the first to be settled by Europeans. Evidence of contact as far back as AD 1000 has been found at a Norse settlement at l'Anse aux Meadows, in Newfoundland. The Grand Banks have been called the "wheat fields" of Newfoundland. This hallow continental shelf extends 400 km off the east coast, where the mixing of ocean currents has created one of the richest fishing grounds in the world
with them. Until 1834, slavery was legal in all British North American colonies but Upper Canada, where the institution was being phased out. The main waves of Loyalists came to what is now Canada in 1783 and 1784. 11. In which province is Scottish culture preserved? In 1910 an incredible 62,000 Scots emigrated to Canada. Tens of thousands of Scots men, women and children boarded ships to make the journey to Canada in the first half of the 20th century. Nova Scotia Gaelic is still spoken in Nova Scotia, hundreds of years after the first Scots settlement was founded.21st century Scots Canadians celebrate their Scots origins and share their traditions with people from around the world. Scots culture is not a museum piece; it is a living thing that grows and thrives as it is touched by other cultures and other traditions. In 2006, in the Canadian Census, 4.7 million Canadians reported that they were of Scottish origin

Canada is the Fraser. The Yukon and Columbia rivers, which both rise in Canada, also flow to the Pacific, but they do so through the United States. Five of Canada's rivers -- the St. Lawrence, Mackenzie, Yukon, Fraser, and Nelson -- rank among the world's 40 longest. 5. The territories and provinces Canada is composed of ten provinces and three territories. The provinces are Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. The three territories are the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon. The provinces have a large degree of autonomy from the federal government, the territories somewhat less. Each has its own provincial or territorial symbols. The major difference between a Canadian province and a territory is that a province receives relatively greater power and authority. The youngest of the territories and provinces is Nunavut, created from

Aastail 1760-1767 anti talle ülesanne kaardistada Orleans`i kanal, Hudsoni jõe suue ja Newfoundlandi, Labradori ja Nova Scotia rannikualad. Cooki töid iseloomustab erakordne täpsus ja hoolikus. Tema koostatud kaarte Newfoundlandi ranniku kohta kasutati isegi 20. sajandi alguseni.5. augustil 1768 a. Väljus ,,Endeavour" ja suundus merele, meeskonnas oli 90 meest.

a monopoly on the fur trade and they would receive all the profits. Early attempts at colonization failed. But in 1604 a French noble man and a map maker named Samuel de Chaplain established the first permanent French settlement in the New World on the coast of presentday New Brunswick. They called the area Acadie. They spent a terrible first winter there so they moved to a more sheltered place on the harbour of Nova Scotia and called it Port Royal. But then France decided that Port Royal was too far from the centre of the fur trade and chose to establish a new French settlement along the St. Lawrence River. The French settlers left Port Royal and returned to France. But some of them stayed to farm. These people are the ancestors of the Frenchspeaking people today. In 1608 Chaplain was chosen to found the first settlement along the St. Lawrence River. For this he is known as "Father of New France
language. Lower Canada in the east, which is the present-day Quebec, and Upper Canada in the west, which is now Ontario. The two parts were separated by the Ottawa River. 13. What is the importance of the British North America Act (1867)? The British North America Act of 1867 (also known as The Constitution Act) was the law passed by the British Parliament creating the Dominion of Canada at Confederation. Three British colonies in North America--Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Canada--were united as "one Dominion under the name of Canada". It also divided the province of Canada into the provinces of Quebec and Ontario and provided them with constitutions. The act served as Canada's "constitution" until 1982, when it was renamed the Constitution Act, 1867, and became the basis of Canada's Constitution Act of 1982. The executive government was vested in (given to) Queen Victoria and her successors. These two provisions
appointed by the President. Members of the government are often styled "cabinet ministers”. 38. Symbols and the flag of Ireland. Shamrock, Celtic Cross, Triple Knot, Irish Harp Irish flag is a is a vertical tricolor of green (at the hoist), white, and orange. 39. Provinces and territories of Canada. The ten provinces are Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. The three territories are Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon, which govern the rest of the area of the former British North America. 40. National anthem and flag of Canada. National anthem is “O Canada”. The flag of Canada consists of a red field with a white square at its center in the ratio of 1:2:1, in the middle of which is featured a red, 11-pointed maple leaf

Roomajad erinesid kahepaiksetest ka paljunemisviisi poolest. Tähtsaimaks teguriks roomajate päritolus on muna, mis kaasajal täidab sama ülesannet modernsete lindude ja roomajate juures. Selline muna koosneb kahest kotist, millest üks sisaldab

tides. Tidal barrages can change the tidal level in the basin and increase turbidity in the water. They can also affect navigation and recreation. Potentially the largest disadvantage of tidal power is the effect a tidal station can have on plants and animals in the estuaries. There are currently two commercial sized barrages in operations. One is located in La Rance, France; the other is in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada. The US has no tidal plants and only a few sites where tidal energy could be produced economically. France, England, Canada, and Russia have much more potential. 35 Picture 10.1. Tidal turbine Tidal fences can also harness the energy of tides. A tidal fence has vertical axis turbines mounted in a fence. All the water that passes is forced through the turbines. They can be

about our U-boat dispositions and with what degree of accuracy he did so," wrote Admiral Donitz. The following month, March of 1943, saw the climax of the Battle of the Atlantic. And the climactic action, the greatest triumph of the U- boats, in which they very nearly severed Britain's lifeline, stemmed directly from a series of B-Dienst solutions. The first came on March 9. A B-Dienst report gave the precise location of the eastbound convoy HX 228. (The HX stood for Halifax, Nova Scotia, assembly point for all fast convoys. Slow convoys, which started at Sydney, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, were designated sc.) Shortly thereafter, the B-Dienst reported that the next fast convoy, HX 229, was southeast of Cape Race, steaming on a course of 89 degrees. On the 14th, another solution revealed that a third convoy, sc 122, had received orders at noon the day before that on reaching a given point it was to steer 67 degrees. The U-boats, then operating in wolf packs of two or

In 1868, Darwin wrote in The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication "Thropughout an immense area, namely the Malayan archipelago, Siam, Pegu, and Burmah, all the cats have truncated tails about half the proper length, often with a sort of knot at the end." Tailless and cats have occurred periodically through random mutation. They have been reported in Bosnia, Burma, China, Crimea, Java, Malaya, Denmark, Nova Scotia and Thailand though some of these will have been bobtails. Bobtail cats occur throughout Asia and into Russia, with more recent mutations occurring in the USA. In a 1949 study, Searle found no kinked tails in London cats. He studied Singapore's cats in 1959 and eventually concluded that stubby-tailed cats were common in Singapore, but in general was rare in Europe except for the Manx breed where the tail was often completely absent.
