Canada is a vast country covering more than
3.8 million square miles. Its population is just
as diverse as its landscape. Here are five facts

- The Haida are just one of hundreds of First Nations
people of Canada. The group lived on Haida Gwaii,
an archipelago off the coast of British Columbia. They
used the red cedar trees found in the area to create
totem poles, dugout canoes, and other items. - Welcome to Canada. Many Europeans
immigrants in the early twentieth century
took their first steps onto Canadian soil after
arriving at Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Nearly a million people passed through this
immigration facility between 1928 and 1971.
