Canada is on the continent of South America, and is the second largest country in the world (9 984 670 square km). The country has two official languages, English and French.
Over 33 million people live in Canada, and the capital city is Ottawa.
Canada became a country in 1867, and the first people who lived there were the Aborigines. The native people did invent one of the biggest sports in Canada, Lacrosse. The sports play an important part in the lives of Canadians, and Ice Hockey is very popular, and has been called “more of a religion than a sport”.
They have a lot of different animals in Canada, over 209 species. Many of them are very uncommon, like polar bears, caribou, bison, walruses and skunks. Canada’s national animal is the beaver.
The reason I chose to write about Canada, is because I didn’t know much about it and it sounded like an interesting country.
