Did you know this country has more lakes than any other nation in the world? In fact, there are over 560 lakes in Canada that are greater than 100 square kilometres in size. To put that into perspective: the entire city of Vancouver is just over 114 square kilometres Canada also has an incredible range of terrains, from fertile prairies to barren Arctic tundra to lush rainforests filled with vibrant wildlife and everything in between. It’s also important to note that while today marks the 156th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation, that this nation is situated on lands and waterways that have been habited for thousands of years.
