Despite having the most powerful nation in the world as its next-door neighbor, Canada has evolved into a nation with a character of its own that is a blend of its colonial European heritage and the rich diversity brought in by the continuous stream of peoples and cultures from across the world resulting in a colorful mosaic that is uniquely Canadian.

Rich in natural resources, Canada also boasts of some of the most spectacular natural landscapes in the world and is home to some of the world’s last wildernesses.
