Welcoming
& Beautiful Environment

Canada
is a country of immigrants and has both a tradition
and policy of encouraging multicultural diversity.
Almost
all of the world's ethnic groups are represented
in Canada. As a result, most ethnic foods and
recreational activities associated with specific
cultures are available in Canada. Clubs, informal
clubs and associations representing a multitude
of ethnic backgrounds are also easily accessible.
International student advisors at schools can
help students get in touch with such groups. |
All
major urban centres have a variety of shopping malls,
restaurants, theatres, art galleries and museums. Canadian
cities provide numerous parks, gardens and beaches for
public use, as well as excellent sports and recreation
facilities.
Canadians
place a high value on their natural environment. There
are currently 39 national parks and national park reserves
in Canada, located in every province and territory.
Each province and territory has also designated areas
as provincial parks, wilderness areas, ecological and
nature reserves. There are over 2000 of these designated
areas across the country.*
Students
who come to Canada will witness one of the most beautiful,
natural environments in the world. Canada is also a
country of diverse geography, and there is much to experience
in its great outdoors: from the lush coastline of British
Columbia, the majestic Rocky Mountains of Alberta, the
big skies of the prairies, to the 'maple sugar country'
in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence and the rugged hills
and picturesque coastline of the Atlantic provinces.
