 Canadian Introduction
Canada
'A Vast Wilderness' A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown.
Forests cover over 40 percent of Canada's land surface. They are managed for specific goods and services that the managers responsible for them
and that society at large have deemed important. These values are many in number, are diverse in nature, are at times complementary, and at times conflicting.

 Will I be able to swim in the Sea?
Sea temperature is an important factor if you are planning to splash about on the beach. As a rule the sea is generally warmer towards the end of the summer season and
most holiday makers find 20-25° is a comfortable temperature. www.sea-temperature.com is a excellent round-up of the world's
