Country Profiles: Canada Webquest Worksheet

This worksheet on Canada allows students to explore the geography, culture, politics, and economy of the world’s second-largest country. Students begin with basic information such as the capital city Ottawa, official languages (English and French), population, and currency (Canadian Dollar). The geography section highlights Canada’s vast territory in North America, bordering the United States, with diverse landscapes such as the Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes, Prairies, Arctic tundra, and thousands of rivers and lakes. Government and politics introduces Canada’s federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy, its current leaders, and national symbols like the maple leaf flag and “O Canada.” The economy section examines major industries including natural resources (oil, gas, timber, mining), technology, manufacturing, and tourism, along with key exports like wheat, cars, and energy. The culture and society portion explores Indigenous heritage, multiculturalism, major religions, traditional foods such as poutine, and festivals like Canada Day. Tourism highlights include Niagara Falls, Banff National Park, Toronto, Montreal, and the Northern Lights. Reflection questions encourage students to compare Canada’s diversity, geography, and culture with their own country.
