Canada Geography

Canada is a country, with ten provinces and three territories, in the northern part of the continent of North America.

It extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering 9.98 million square kilometers (3.85 million square miles) in total, making it the world’s second-largest country by total area and the fourth-largest country by land area. Canada’s common border with the United States forms the world’s longest land border.

Canada History

The land now called Canada has been inhabited for millennia by various Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French colonies were established on the region’s Atlantic coast. As a consequence of various conflicts, the United Kingdom gained and lost North American territories until left, in the late 18th century, with what mostly comprises Canada today. Pursuant to the British North America Act, on July 1, 1867, three colonies joined to form the autonomous federal Dominion of Canada. This began an accretion of provinces and territories to the new self-governing Dominion. In 1931, Britain granted Canada near total independence with the Statute of Westminster 1931 and full sovereignty was attained when the Canada Act 1982 severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament.

Canadian Government

Canada is a federal parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, Queen Elizabeth II being the current head of state. The country is officially bilingual at the federal level. It is one of the world’s most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries, with a population of approximately 35 million as of 2015. Its advanced economy is the eleventh largest in the world, relying chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade networks. Canada’s long and complex relationship with the United States has had a significant impact on its economy and culture.

A Wealthy Country

Canada is a developed country and one of the wealthiest in the world, with the tenth highest nominal per capita income globally, and the eighth-highest ranking in the Human Development Index. It ranks among the highest in international measurements of government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, economic freedom, and education. Canada is a Commonwealth Realm member of the Commonwealth of Nations, a member of the Francophonie, and part of several major international and intergovernmental institutions or groupings including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the G8, the Group of Ten, the G20, the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.

BEST TIME TO VISIT THE CANADIAN ROCKIES


SUMMER

The summer months of July and August are bustling with activity as temperatures soar and days stretch on, while the weather hangs in a majestic balance. Hiking trails are open and welcoming all those who seek to explore nature’s beauty. While it may rain or snow at any given moment, this chance of precipitation should not deter travelers from experiencing the great outdoors.

Unfortunately, these desirable conditions also attract an overwhelming number of tourists who crowd the most popular locations. Intrepid explorers can still discover serenity if they venture further away from civilization, though beware of the haze that arises due to nearby blazes that scorch the landscape as we approach the end of summer.

When planning a trip during these months, be sure to reserve your accommodation well ahead of time as prices skyrocket and availability dwindles. Nevertheless, travelers will find their journeys worthwhile if they prepare accordingly.

FALL

September and October are two of the most crowded months in the Rockies due to cheaper accommodation, but they offer stunning fall landscapes with changing colors on the trees. It is possible to get snow in early October, which can close down some roads. Springtime is generally considered one of the toughest times to visit because winter lingers so long that trails can be icy or muddy and conditions tend to be less predictable.

May and June bring fewer people but colder weather and possibly still-closed trails due to snow. Yearly climate can vary (such as the frigid winters of 2018 and 2019 that had snow gracing the mountains well into July).

WINTER & SPRING

Winter and spring are wonderful times to explore the world, especially if you’re an adventurous traveler looking for something new and unexpected but cold adn you may not know what the weather will bring.  It is extremely challenging to get dynamic photogaphy in the snow. Yes, it can happend but it is much more rare than any other time.
