Churchill Falls

The Churchill River drops some 66 m before plummeting 75 m over the falls and a further 158 m through Bowdoin Canyon. The Montagnais-Naskapi believed that to look at the awesome falls meant death. John McLean was the first European man to see the falls (1839), but they were largely forgotten until Albert Peter Low made a scientific excursion to the area in 1894.

Cicada

Cicadas are large, sound-producing insects in the family Cicadidae, best known for their multi-year life cycles. They are true bugs, belonging to the order Hemiptera. Scientists know of more than 3,200 species of cicada worldwide, most of them from the tropics. In Canada, scientists have recorded 21 species, found in forested areas across the country and as far north as Sambaa Deh Falls Territorial Park, Northwest Territories. The loud, distinctive calls of males are heard on warm summer days, and are unique to each species. Cicada species are either annual or periodical, depending on their life cycle. While annual species are seen each year, periodical species emerge in 13- or 17-year cycles. Only annual species of cicada are found in Canada.

Canadian Citizenship

Canadian citizenship was first created in 1947 by the Canadian Citizenship Act. Today's version of the law says both Canadian-born and naturalized citizens are equally entitled to the rights of a citizen, and subject to the duties of a citizen. In 2014, the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act brought about the first significant amendments to the Citizenship Act since 1977. However, these changes were repealed or amended by legislation passed in 2017.
