ATLANTIC PROVINCES

Nova Scotia, New

Brunswick, Prince Edward

Island, and Newfoundland

and Labrador attract

tourists for their landscape,

wildlife, and quaint seaside

villages. Icebergs are a

regular sight off the coast

of Newfoundland and

Labrador as they drift

south from the Arctic.

FISHERIES

The Grand Banks, off the coast of

Newfoundland, are shallow waters that once

contained huge stocks of fish. Stocks have declined,

however, due to overfishing, and now catches are severely

restricted. Tourism has been a valuable alternative for

those who relied on fishing for their livelihood.

Québec city

FRENCH CANADA

Québec province is the main

French-speaking part of Canada.

With a different language and

cultural traditions from other parts

of the country, there have been calls

in the past for Québec to become

independent from the rest of Canada.

ST LAWRENCE SEAWAY

Stretching far inland, the

St Lawrence Seaway provides a

link from the Great Lakes to the

Atlantic. A series of huge locks descends

from Lake Ontario to sea level, allowing

ocean-going ships to transport their cargo as

far inland as Lake Superior. Large amounts of

iron ore, for example, are transported inland

from Labrador to Ontario for processing.

Corn, soy, and other agricultural products

move in the opposite direction, from the

prairies east to the markets of the world.
