Unusual Animals in Canada

Canada’s wildlife is incredibly diverse, thanks to its vast mix of forests, tundra, mountains and coastlines. The country is known for iconic species like the beaver, moose, beluga whale, arctic fox and lynx, but some of its lesser-known residents are just as fascinating. Here are eight unusual animals that roam or wriggle through Canada’s wild landscapes.

Upper Canada

Upper Canada was the predecessor of modern-day Ontario. It was created in 1791 by the division of the old Province of Quebec into Lower Canada in the east and Upper Canada in the west. Upper Canada was a wilderness society settled largely by Loyalists and land-hungry farmers moving north from the United States. Upper Canada endured the War of 1812 with America, William Lyon Mackenzie’s Rebellion of 1837, the colonial rule of the Family Compact and half a century of economic and political growing pains. With the Act of Union in 1841, it was renamed Canada West and merged with Lower Canada (Canada East) into the Province of Canada.

Upper Canada Land Surrenders

The Upper Canada Land Surrenders (sometimes known as the Upper Canada Treaties) is a title given to a series of agreements made between Indigenous peoples and the Crown. These agreements were made during the late 18th century and into the 19th century before Confederation and the creation of the province of Ontario. The agreements surrendered Indigenous lands to the colonial government for a variety of purposes, including settlement and development. The Upper Canada Land Surrenders cover much of what is now southwestern Ontario. (See also Treaties with Indigenous Peoples in Canada.)

Urban Design

Urban design can be applied to the whole city (as in Kitimat), to well-defined units of the city (as in Don Mills in Toronto) and to individual streets and clusters of buildings. The earliest extant examples of urban design in Canada are designs for the whole city. Quebec City is a compact, fortified city whose design pays respect to church and state and acknowledges its existence to the St. Lawrence River. Old Montreal, despite demolition and building, preserves the form of the 18th-century street pattern, crowned by Place d'Armes on the height of land at its centre. Halifax derives its visual character from a generous orthogonal grid of streets laid out by British military engineers.

Urban Effect on Climate

The urban effect on climate is one of the best examples of unintentional human modification of the atmosphere (see Climatology). The construction of every building, road, and parking lot creates a new local microclimate. Taken together with air pollution from human activities, these changes constitute the local effect of a settlement upon its climate. In Canada, such effects have been observed in villages with as few as 1,000 inhabitants, in metropolitan areas, and across all climatic regions.
