Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (5385 words) |
 | To the north of this region is the broad Canadian Shield, an area of rock scoured clean by the last ice age, thinly soiled, rich in minerals, and dotted with lakes and rivers—Canada by far has more lakes than any other country in the world and has a large amount of the world's freshwater. |
| South of the Gulf, the Canadian Maritimes protrude eastward from the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec. |
| Particularly, the use of the maple leaf, as a Canadian symbol, dates back to the early 18th century and is depicted on its current and previous flags, the penny, and on the coat of arms. |
