Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the body of water on which residents of Ottawa are skating during winter?

Answer: Rideau Canal

The Rideau Canal is in fact one of the major touristic attractions of Ottawa during winter. Ottawa residents can skate on the canal for around eight weeks, during the months of January and February, where the temperature can go as low as -30 degrees Celsius!

2. What is the name of the island on which the city of Victoria, capital of the province of British Columbia, is located?

Answer: Vancouver

Interesting fact, the city of Vancouver is not situated on the island of the same name. Vancouver Island and the city of Vancouver are separated by the Strait of Georgia.

3. What is the name of the body of water situated between the provinces of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island?

Answer: Strait of Northumberland

If you go on the eastern coast of New Brunswick, you are able to see a little part of the Prince Edward Island. In fact, the Strait of Northumberland is not very wide. That's why, since 1997, the two provinces are joined by the 12.9 km long "Confederation Bridge".

Answer: Schefferville

Schefferville was named in honor of the first bishop of the Labrador region.

5. What is Canada's highest mountain?

Answer: Mount Logan

Located in the St. Elais Mountain Range in Yukon, Mount Logan stands at 5.950 m, close to 20,000 feet, and is the world's largest massif (that means, if you were to put Mt. Logan in a bathtub full of water it would displace more water than any other mountain).

6. What street was once known as the longest street in the world? This street goes from the port of Toronto in Canada to the Minnesota's frontier in U.S.A.

Answer: Yonge Street

Yonge Street is 1886 km long.

Answer: Okanagan Valley

The name of "Okanagan" was given to the valley in reference to the Interior Salish first nation tribe who first settled there.

8. Name of the only island situated in the Ungava bay?

Answer: Akpatok

Interesting fact, for anything that happens on this island, the Inuit, who are the main residents of the island, seem to explain an event by attributing it to polar bears.

9. What is the deepest lake in Canada?

Answer: Great Slave Lake

Great Slave Lake is 614m deep, and is also the fourth largest lake in Canada.

10. What is the name of the strait between the province of Newfoundland and the Labrador region?
