Canadian Facts and Trivia - THE CLIMATE
Canada occupies half a continent, so it stands to reason there would be a lot of variations in the climate. In fact, there are seven distinct climate zones identified in the country: Arctic, Subarctic, Atlantic, Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands, Pacific, Cordillera, and Prairie.
The largest, the Subarctic, is also the most empty, while the two smallest zones by territory, the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands, and Pacific, contain around three quarters of the country’s population, including Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver and Montreal.
