    Flower-class Corvettes

    Corvettes were small, lightly armed Canadian-built warships used for anti-submarine warfare in the Second World War. With the threat by German U-Boats to convoys on the North Atlantic from the outset of the war, Canada needed to produce ships quickly. The answer was the corvette, a vessel of barely 1,000 tonnes and about 63m long. Construction began early in 1940 and the first 14 appeared in the St Lawrence in the last months of the year. In total, Canada’s 111 corvettes comprised a quarter of its combat fleet; ten of those were lost in action.

    Cougar

    Cougar, puma or mountain lion (Felis concolor, family Felidae), is the most gracile of the New World wild cats. It has long legs and a tail, and a small head (similar to the African cheetah); thus, it has also been called the American cheetah. Colour varies from tawny to cinnamon or reddish brown; underparts are dull white. The backs of the ears, markings on the face and the last 5–8 cm of the tail are black.

    Council of the Federation (Canada's Premiers)

    The Council of the Federation (COF, also known as “Canada’s Premiers”) is the organization which supports top-level provincial-territorial (PT) relations in Canada. It was founded in 2003 as a formalization of the Annual Premiers’ Conference, which had occurred annually from 1960 to 2003. Although frequently focused on the federal government, COF also serves as an increasingly important forum for provincial-territorial relations (separate from the federal government) in Canada.

    Inuit Country Food in Canada

    Country food is a term that describes traditional Inuit food, including game meats, migratory birds, fish and foraged foods. In addition to providing nourishment, country food is an integral part of Inuit identity and culture, and contributes to self-sustainable communities. Environmental and socioeconomic changes have threatened food security, making country food more expensive and difficult to harvest. Despite these challenges, the Inuit, in partnership with various levels of government and non-profit organizations, continue to work towards improving access to country food.
