Made up of 10 distinct provinces and three unique territories, Canada offers a broad range of cultural and geographical features. The mighty Rocky Mountains and powerful pacific tides meet with vibrant communities in British Columbia, while urban flair mixes with cowboy culture in Alberta. Rural living comes alive under endless skies in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, while Ontario offers a diverse mix of big-city sophistication and relaxed country living. The sights and sounds of historic Quebec are not to be missed and the friendly fishing villages of Atlantic Canada are well worth the visit. Northern Canada offers visitors a chance to take in some of the only truly untamed landscapes in the world. This year marks Canada's 137th birthday.
On Canada Day, we celebrate our nation's heritage and commemorate the contributions made to it by the people of Canada.
Canadian history has been captured and documented not only by historians, artists and poets, but also by aboriginals, settlers and immigrants. Adding to this picture, especially with the significant role geography has played in Canadian history, are the maps and charts of explorers, cartographers, and surveyors.
