Oh! Canada Charms in Gold and Silver for Charm Bracelets

Canada is the second largest country in the world. The name Canada comes from the Huron word Kanata which means "village." Jacques Cartier, the early French explorer, started using the word and to refer to the land around his settlement, which is now part of Quebec City. Over time as Canada grew the name stuck.

Canada has the longest coastline of any country in the world. More than seven per cent of Canada's area is made up of fresh water lakes. The native peoples of Canada, known as Aboriginals, include the Inuit (Eskimo) who live in the north and the First Nations People who live further south. The Hudson's Bay Company was almost two hundred years old when Canada became self-governing in 1867. The Company used to control one-third of present-day Canada.

Nova Scotia, one of Canada's provinces, means "New Scotland." Native Indians collected the sweet sap from the maple tree long before colonists arrived in Canada. In 1965, the red maple leaf flag became the National Flag of Canada. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is Canada's national police service.
