Canada 2 populated area of ice and oceans，which is sometimes called “the Land of the Midnight Sun”（午夜太阳之 地）. This region is currently divided into 3 administrative territories—the Yukon (育空地区) , the Northwest Territories (西北地区) and Nunavat（努勒维特地区 a territory carved from eastern part of the original Northwest Territories in 1999）. And most of the inhabitants are Aboriginal people. The traditional economy in this region was based on hunting and trapping animals for food and pelts, but now oil and gas deposits are also being developed. 2) the west（西部 1 省） the western-most province is British Columbia (布列颠哥伦比亚省 BC) with 3 major mountain ranges running through it, among which the largest in Rockies. Lake Louise(路易斯湖), located in the Rockies, is the most famous image of the Canadian landscape（加拿大风景最突出的代表）. BC is Canada’s 2nd largest producer of hydroelectric power. However, its main economic mainstay(支柱) is its forests. It has the most valuable forestry industry. 3) The Prairies (草原 3 省) The prairie provinces of Alberta(阿尔伯塔省), Saskatchewan(萨斯喀彻温省)and Manitoba(马尼托 巴省）lie east of the Rockies(落基山脉). The prairies are flat and featureless and have a harsh continental climate. They are called the breadbasket(胃, 腹）of Canada because the land is well-suited to farming, and wheat is one of the biggest agricultural crops in this area. The prairies are also rich in energy resources. Manitoba is known as the Land of 100 000 Lakes (马尼托巴省被称为“十万湖之地”). 4) Central Canada (中部 2 省) Central Canada, Ontario (安大略省) and Quebec（魁北克省）, are the parts of the country that were first settled. They are the industrial heartland of the country and are also the most densely populated provinces. They have the largest cities like Toronto in Ontario, and the country’s 2nd largest city Montreal(蒙特利尔) in Quebec. The capital of the country Ottawa is also in Ontario. 5) The Maritimes（滨海诸省：4 个省）(the Atlantic regions) The Atlantic provinces of New Brunswick(新不伦瑞克省), Nova Scotia（新斯科省 the first part of Canada to be settled in 1604）, Prince Edward Island（爱德华太子岛省） and Newfoundland（纽芬兰省 the last province to join Canada in 1949）are also known as the Maritimes. They are small in population and largely rely on the fishing industry for their economic wealth. They are rich in farming and forestry products and are quite popular tourist attractions. 3. European settlement in Canada (欧洲人在加拿大的殖民) Settlement by European began in the 17th century. French colonists first settled Canada. The earliest major settlements were established in Nova Scotia in 1604 and Quebec in 1608. During earlier settlements, the French set the Company of New France (新法兰西公司) and Britain founded the Hudson’s Bay Company (哈德逊海湾公司) to facilitate trade. 4. The Confederation (加拿大邦联)
