Some fun facts about Canada!
Did you know that ‘Canada’ wasn’t the only name considered for the new dominion? Other names suggested at the time of Confederation were:
• Victorialand
• Borealia
• Cabotia

The word Canada comes from the First Nations Iroquoian language, Kanata, which means village, land or settlement.
Did you know Canadians invented SUPERMAN, the TELEPHONE, SMARTIES, HOCKEY, BASKETBALL, LACROOSE, APPLE PIE, JET-SKIS, ZIPPERS, INSULIN AND PENICILLIN, AND STANDARD TIME?
