The only french speaking province, also known for it's delicious poutine.
Quebec
- Quebec is huge! It’s Canada’s largest province and makes up one-sixth of the country’s total land area.
- Quebec is second only to Ontario when it comes to population size. In fact, there are more than 9,000,000 people who live in the province of Quebec.
- Pancakes and syrup! Canada produces 70% of the world’s pure maple syrup, and of that number, 90% of the product comes from Quebec. In a typical year, Quebec produces approximately 30,241,654 litres of maple syrup
- The name “Quebec” was first used to represent the region in 1608. It’s derived from an Algonquin word, “Kebec,” which translates to “where the river narrows.” This refers to Quebec City’s unique position along the massive St. Lawrence River below Ile d’Orleans.

What province was Hawaiian Pizza created in?
a) Alberta
b) Nova Scotia
c) Ontario
d) Manitoba
Ontario!
the pizza’s commercial success is often pinpointed as having been sparked in Canada by a Greek immigrant called Sam Panopoulos in 1962.
Panopoulos, along with his brothers, owned a restaurant in the province of Ontario. The food was initially very simple - traditional diner dishes such as pancakes and burgers. Inspired by a recent trip to Naples, Panopoulos decided to introduce pizza to the menu.
It was a relatively new dish in North America and, at the time, with most pizza being served with mushrooms, bacon or pepperoni as toppings. Panopoulos did the same, but as he became more adventurous with other dishes, introducing Americanised versions of Chinese meals such as sweet and sour chicken, which also includes pineapple, he decided to take a risk with his pizzas as well.
The story goes that he added canned pineapple to one pizza, with ham – not knowing whether it would be a hit or not, but soon found the combination of sweet and savoury was proving a winner with his customers.

There are 4 points on the Canadian leaf.
FALSE!
There are 11.
Today, the maple leaf is instantly recognized as the symbol of Canada. But it wasn’t always the case! In fact, thanks to the expanding fur trade 400 years ago, the first popular Canadian symbol was… the beaver!
The maple tree with its vibrant autumn colours has always been a prominent feature of the landscape in the eastern parts of Canada. The Indigenous peoples living in these areas valued the maple tree for its sweet sap and the goods derived from it. While this remarkable tree made a distinct impression on early settlers, it wasn’t until the 19th century that the maple leaf itself emerged as a symbol of national identity. From that time onwards, the leaf appeared more and more frequently, becoming the well-loved symbol of Canada it is today.
