Canadian Provinces Quiz – Ten Provinces Across a Continent

Canada's ten provinces stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Atlantic provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador have fishing traditions and old seaports, while Quebec and Ontario form the country's populous heartland.

West of Ontario lie the Prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, known for wheat, cattle and energy. British Columbia, beyond the Rocky Mountains, has rainforests, mountains and a long Pacific coastline.

Canada grew step by step. Four provinces joined in 1867, others followed over the next decades and Newfoundland joined last in 1949. Provinces have strong powers over health, education and natural resources, making Canada one of the most decentralized federations.
