Wednesday's assignment

Good morning all,

We are still learning about Canada. Today, we will talk about the different regions and provinces in Canada. Click on this link and this link, and then follow the classroom’s instructions.

Task 1:
Read about one province or territory and write a concise summary about the important information to the rest of your classmates. Make sure to add any new vocabulary there. Make a quick comparison on the provinces and pick one that you like to live there; provide reasons for your choice.


Manitoba

Manitoba is a province located at the longitudinal centre of Canada. Manitoba covers an area of 649,950 square kilometers. The province is bordered by the provinces of Ontario to the east and Saskatchewan to the west, the territory of Nunavut to the north, and the US states to the south. The province has a saltwater coastline bordering Hudson Bay and contains over 110,000 lakes. Manitoba's major lakes are Lake Manitoba, Lake Winnipegosis, and Lake Winnipeg, the tenth-largest freshwater lake in the world. Manitoba is the fifth-most populous province in Canada, with a population of 1,233,000. Winnipeg is Manitoba's capital and largest city. Manitoba is one of the three Prairie Provinces. Its economy is based on agriculture, mining and hydro-electric power generation. Since its location is in the central region, transpotation here is very developed. 

I want to live in Manitoba because it has lots of points of interests, such as prairies, lakes, forests, polar bears and aurora borealis. It has many job opportunities, and its living cost is not very high.
