Canadian Lakes Quiz – A Land of Lakes

Canada has more lakes than any other country, with estimates of hundreds of thousands to millions. The retreating glaciers of the last Ice Age scraped basins across the Canadian Shield and left them full of water.

Lakes vary from the vast Great Bear and Great Slave in the north to the turquoise glacial lakes of the Rockies. The Great Lakes on the US border hold a large share of the world's surface fresh water.

Lakes are central to Canadian life, from cottage country and canoeing to fishing and hydropower. Indigenous peoples have traveled and fished these waters for thousands of years.
