Canada!!!

Canada is a country north of America, and is the worlds second largest country in terms of area of land. A major part of Canadian life is sport, and in particular, Ice Hockey. Ice hockey is recognised around the world and is an olympic sport, however the countries that are most efficient at it have long term cold periods and ice cover.



Another major part of Canada is its beautiful Rockies mountain range, which provide some intensly challenging hikes and walks, some requiring glacial and crevasse rescue knowledge.



Mount Robson is the Rockies highes point at almost 4000 meters above sea level!!!
There are two main languages in Canada: English and French. This is due to colonization by European countries. Canada is one of the wealthiest first world countries on the globe, and had a low average unemployment rate. Its a great place to holiday or live!!!

Cheers, Tom
