All about Canada for Kids | Learn about this fun country's history and culture

NOTE: We have been made aware of some issues in this video. We apologize for the mispronunciation of Newfoundland and Métis. The "small groups" of First Nations people and Inuit make up around 5% of the population, and their cultures are very important to the country. Additionally, the animals shown for wolves and beavers are incorrect. We refer erroneously to the RMCP, when it should be RCMP, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. We apologize for these mistakes and hope you can still enjoy the video!

Have you ever been to the country just north of the United States of America? In All about Canada for Kids, you will learn lots of interesting facts about this cool neighbor of ours. For instance, Canada is the second-largest country in the world but is home to only about half of 1% of the world's total population! That's a lot of space for so few people.

Canada is made up of 10 provinces and 3 territories. Ottawa, Ontario, is the capitol city, and the largest city is Toronto, Ontario. The second-largest city in Canada is Montréal, Québec. It's a major seaport and one of the biggest French-speaking countries in the world. After all, both English and French are the two official languages of the country. Nearly half the people in Canada have British ancestors, and around one-fourth have French ancestors. There is also a small group of First Nations people and Inuit who live there.

Lots of different animals lives among the mountains, plains, forests, and lakes of Canada. Some of these include bears, beavers, moose, mountain lions, bison, antelope, caribou, foxes, owls, and even polar bears! There are 41 national parks and 3 conservation areas throughout the country. One of the most famous national parks in Canada is Banff National Park.
