Canada is a massive land, and the second largest country on the planet. It geographically and politically separates itself into (10) provinces and (3) territories, each with an individual capital city (map of Canada).
The Atlas of Canada’s primary focus is on presenting information about Canada (map of Canada) at the national level with the ability to zoom into regional views, ranging in scales from 1:40 million to 1:1 million. As such, the level of detail you may be looking for, such as detailed road networks across Canada and for cities, will not be found on this Web site as it is outside the scope of the Atlas of Canada mandate. The Canada of today is the result of many great debates over how to govern a country, especially one as diverse as Canada. Many active citizens who challenged the status quo and demanded a model to reflect our realities are listed among Canada's greatest heroes. This is indeed a great tradition, and learning about the people and events that have shaped and created our current system of government is one of the best ways to learn about what it means to be an informed and responsible citizen. Canadians and Their Government is a resource guide containing ready-to-use material for various types of learning environments. The information provided within the guide gives a comprehensive and concise explanation of how Canada has developed, and continues to develop, as a strong democratic country. The goal of this guide is to equip Canadians with activities to become familiar with, think critically about and engage themselves in Canada's democratic system of government. The tools provided will help them to become a new generation of active and informed citizens, by exploring the stories of those who have gone before them and discovering their history and heritage. These activities use creative tasks, role-playing, research and discussion-oriented tasks to map of Canada illustrate how government works, encourage responsible citizenship and challenge youth to understand the many different perspectives that make up Canada.
