Québec: en français Colonists from France settled
Québec, starting in the 1600s.Today, most of Québec’s people
have French ancestry. The province is serious about preserving its French heritage.
Its laws forbid other languages from being used on local business signs unless French words are also written.

Québec : LandscapeQuébec covers about one-sixth of
Canada’s total area. The St. Lawrence River cuts through the
southern part of the province. Fertile lowlands and mountains lie on
both sides of the river. Most of Québec’s territory is far north.
The northernmost part is cold, treeless tundra. The land remains frozen much of the year. Inuit live in villages in the far north.

Ontario: OttawaIn 1857, Britain’s Queen Victoria chose
Bytown as the capital of the United Province of Canada. It was later renamed Ottawa. At the time, Bytown was just a little industrial town. Why did the queen pick it? It was midway between Toronto and Montréal. Most people in Montréal spoke French, and most people in Toronto spoke English. The queen didn’t want to favor one group over the other. The town was also farther away from the United States border than Toronto and Montréal and more easily protected in case of war.
