Schools in Canada
Canadian schools are among the best schools in the world, ranked above the UK, the USA and Australia. Canadian kids start school at the age of two to five and finish it when they turn 18. They can leave earlier, at the age of 16, but hardly anyone does this. Most students learn French as a second language. In the province of Quebec the majority of schools have all the lessons in French.
There are also some special subjects to choose: e.g. outdoor survival training, health or business. Students can also participate in extracurricular activities like sports and cheerleading. Extracurricular activities also offer arts and hobby clubs for everybody. There are even activities to make friends. A healthy snack or meal is served to all students for free or for a small price only. Many Canadian schools have a dress code or school uniform.
In the winter season the schools sometimes have to close for one or more days due to extreme weather like snowstorms.

Canadian wildlife Canada’s wildlife is diverse: It offers large, often uninhabited areas to go hiking. But be careful: Watch out for black bears or grizzly bears in the Rocky Mountains! You may also encounter wolves or mountain lions. Canada’s government wants to save the country’s unique nature. That is why there are more than 40 national parks today.
Canada is also a paradise for people who like fishing or whale watching. In the town of Churchill you can even book a tour to see polar bears, who live in the tundra in the very North of Canada, covered with ice most of the year. But there are many more native animals you might want to see: moose, caribou, wolverines, raccoons, skunks or Canada geese.
Other provinces like Alberta and Manitoba are mostly prairie. In British Columbia, which is particularly popular with tourists, you can find large forests and many lakes.
And don’t forget to visit the 'Niagara Waterfalls', probably the most impressive natural sight in Canada, close to the American border. Some sports you could do in the outdoors are canoeing, climbing mountains, hiking or sailing.

Sports in Canada Since 1859 Canada’s most popular summer sport is lacrosse: 11 players per team carry a small ball with the help of nets on sticks and try to throw it into the opponent’s goal.
Every winter more than 500,000 Canadians play Canada’s official number one winter sport: hockey. In Canada, hockey always means ice hockey! Professional hockey players play with enormous passion and can earn up to CAD ten million per season.
Did you know that hockey players reach enormously high speeds? They skate 50 kph. The puck reaches up to 160 kph! In many Canadian families every Saturday within the season is “Hockey Night”. Whole families watch their favourite teams win or lose on TV and share their excitement with each other.
Of course not only ice hockey and lacrosse is played in Canada: There are also soccer, curling, baseball, bowling and basketball.

Must-try Canadian dishes Visitors to Canada get the chance to taste a bunch of unique dishes:
Poutine is a dish whose roots go back to the 1950s. It's french fries with a meat-based sauce and some soft cheese on it. BeaverTails are not really made of beaver meat. In fact they are flattened donuts without a hole. They are topped with sugar, nutella or other sweets.
Butter tarts are an essential Canadian food since the late 19th century. They are small cakes with a crumbly crust and a creamy filling made of butter, sugar and eggs and sometimes raisins, too. Delicious!
Maple syrup is THE standard topping in Canada. It is made from the juice of maple trees. It is quite sweet and can be put on cakes and pancakes. Some Canadians even put it on dishes like pizza, bacon or fries.

Canada’s most exciting cities Canada has a variety of multicultural and modern cities. Some offer a landscape with mountains nearby, other are located at the coast. Canadians usually are very friendly to strangers, which makes it fun to visit their country! Here are three cities that could be worth visiting:
Vancouver in the province of British Columbia is very popular. It lies on the coast and next to a mountain range. The winters are not as cold as in other areas of the country with not much snow and an early spring. However, prices for houses are high in Vancouver. Vancouver has the biggest film industry in Canada with movies like Deadpool, Star Trek or Riverdale being shot in the Vancouver area. Calgary in the province of Alberta is a city for people who like mountain biking or winter sports. The Winter Olympics 1988 took place there. This is why the city still has to offer a great choice of winter and also more and more summer sports, e.g. in the Rocky Mountains.
Toronto in the province of Ontario is one of the most multicultural and vibrant cities in the world. A mix of 6 million English, Chinese, Indian, Italian, Scottish and Irish people live there. This is also the reason for the wide choice of restaurants in the city. You also find the CN tower, the tallest structure in Northern America with a restaurant offering a 360° view of the whole city.
