Canada is situated on the north of Northern America, washed by the Atlantic Ocean in the east, the Pacific Ocean in the west, and the Arctic Ocean in the north and in the northeast by the Baffin Bay and the Davis Strait, which separate it from Greenland, In the south and in the north Canada borders on the USA. It is a land of vast distances and rich natural resources. Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Canada's territory is the world's second largest country, surpassed in size only by Russia. It includes many islands, notably the Canadian Arctic Islands, also called Arctic Archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbour to the south. The total area is about 10 million sq km. Canada is slightly larger than the US. It is an important manufacturer, and its major cities, such as Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg are centres of commerce and industry.
The climate of Canada varies from temperate in the south to subarctic and arctic in the north. The highest Canadian point is Mount Logan 5,959 m. The population of Canada is about 32 million people. There are two state languages: English and French. English is spoken by 60 % of population; French is spoken by 23 % of people.
Most of Canada's inhabitants live in the southern part of the country and vast areas of the north are sparsely inhabited. The country is divided into ten provinces (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan) and three territories (Northwest Territories, Yukon Territory, Nunavut Territory). The third territory called Nunavut, to be carved from the present Northwest Territories, was created in 1999.

This has resulted in a unique blend of traditions and customs that are celebrated throughout the country. Indigenous cultures are particularly rich and diverse, with each community having its own traditions, languages, and art forms.

In terms of people, Canadians are known for their friendly and polite nature. They are often described as being very welcoming and inclusive, which is reflected in the country's multiculturalism. Canada is home to people from all over the world, which has led to a rich tapestry of languages, cuisines, and traditions.

For example, Canada Day on July 1st is a national holiday that celebrates the country's confederation. It typically involves fireworks, parades, and concerts, with people proudly displaying the Canadian flag. Additionally, Thanksgiving is celebrated in October, bringing families together for a feast to give thanks for the harvest and blessings of the past year.

In terms of winter celebrations, Christmas is widely observed, with decorations, festive markets, and gatherings with family and friends. In some regions, the French tradition of celebrating "La Chandeleur" or Candlemas is also observed with crepe-making and other activities.

Moreover, Canada's multicultural makeup means that various cultural festivals are celebrated throughout the year, such as Chinese New Year, Diwali, and Eid al-Fitr, reflecting the diversity of the Canadian population.

In conclusion, Canada's traditions, people, and holidays reflect the country's rich multicultural heritage, making it a vibrant and inclusive society with a wide range of customs and celebrations.
