Cities of Canada

Victoria Capital of British Columbia Very beautiful city On Vancouver Island, not to be confused with Vancouver Have to get there by boat from Vancouver (from the mainland)

Victoria

Edmonton Capital city of Alberta It is very flat, part of the prairies It gets tornadoes; mass whirlwinds that have enough strength to toss a bus hundreds of meters and destroy houses It also has Canada’s biggest shopping mall. In the mall there is an amusement park and a beach with high waves. It’s fun!

Edmonton

Regina Capital of Saskatchewan It is the center of a large agricultural community This community seems to be shrinking.

Regina

Winnipeg Capital of Manitoba Very hot in the summertime and very cold in the winter time It seems to always have a mosquito problem Sometimes other Canadian joke and call it Winterpeg

Quebec City

Halifax Capital city of Nova Scotia Another very old city Was once a very famous international port. Is still Canada’s largest eastern port Very friendly people, a fun town!

Fredericton Capital of New Brunswick Like Regina, this city seems to be shrinking in population Because it’s inland, it is safe from many of the Atlantic storms

Fredericton

Charlottetown Capital city of Prince Edward Island (PEI) PEI is known for beautiful parks and scenery It’s also famous for it’s Potatoes It is a very quiet and calm community

Charlottetown

St. Johns Capital of Newfoundland Located on a peninsula, off a bigger island It gets lots of storms Newfoundland is one of the most beautiful places in all of Canada. But that’s my opinion.

St.John’s

Whitehorse Capital of the Yukon Territory Very far up north Was famous during the gold rush (more on that later in the course) It’s very scenic

Whitehorse

Yellowknife Capital of the North West Territories Very barren and cold Is on Great Slave Lake and the Mackenzie River. It gets so cold in the winter that truck drivers use the river as a highway

Yellowknife
