  4. Newfoundland and Labrador: Landscape LANDSCAPE • Newfoundland is an island in the Atlantic Ocean. • The other part is Labrador, a much larger region on Canada’s mainland.

  5. Newfoundland and Labrador: Landscape • Most towns along the rocky, jagged coastlines. • It has rolling land and many rivers, lakes, bogs, and forests.

  6. Newfoundland and Labrador: Temperature • Winters can be very cold, especially in Labrador. • Winter temperatures in the province frequently fall well below –18° Celsius. • Even in summer, ice sometimes floats along the coast. • Fog and floods are common. In April 1912, the British ocean liner Titanic struck an iceberg and sank near the island of Newfoundland.

  7. Newfoundland and Labrador: Natural Resources • Fishing has always been big business in Newfoundland and Labrador. Fish farmers raise many types of fish in nets anchored off the coast. • Vast forests supply wood for the province’s paper mills. • The province also has rich deposits of iron, nickel, petroleum, steel, oil and natural gas.

  12. Prince Edward Island: Natural Resources • Fishing is an important industry on Prince Edward Island. Lobster is the most valuable catch. • About half of Prince Edward Island is farmland. Potato vines, golden grains, and green clover cover the farmland in summer. • PEI’s nickname is ‘Spud Island’ because the fertile, rich red soil gives PEI’s potatoes a unique flavour.

  16. Nova Scotia: Landscape • In Nova Scotia, you are never more than an hour’s drive from the sea. The province juts out from Canada into the Atlantic Ocean. Most people live along the coast. • Nova Scotia consists of a peninsula connected to the Canadian mainland, Cape Breton Island, and a number of smaller islands. • Rocky shores line the southern coast. On the eastern side, the coast is marked by many small coves and harbors. These inlets shelter small fishing villages. A number of beaches are also found along the coast. • Inland, you’ll find rolling hills and farms as well as forests, lakes, and marshes.

  17. Nova Scotia: Natural Resources • North America’s first apple orchards, grains, and dandelions grew in the Annapolis Valley. Apples still grow in the Annapolis Valley. • Fish, oil, gas, lumber, coal, natural gas, vegetables

  21. New Brunswick: Landscape • Trees cover most of the province away from the coast. • There are sandy beaches along New Brunswick’s eastern coast.

  22. New Brunswick: Landscape • Twice a day, the tide of the Atlantic Ocean rises. Each time this happens, 100 billion tons of water pours into the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy has some of the highest tides in the world! • Sometimes you can see boats sitting in mud, far away from the water. But just wait until the tide comes in! Then there’s plenty of water to keep the boats afloat.

  23. New Brunswick: Natural Resources • Fishing is an important industry in New Brunswick. All along New Brunswick’s rocky coast you can see people fishing and lighthouses to guide the fishing boats. Lobsters, snow crabs, herring, scallops, and shrimp are all caught in the Bay of Fundy. • Atlantic salmon fill streams that drain into the sea. Black’s Harbor has one of the world’s largest sardine canneries. • Timber from the central and northern parts of New Brunswick is often floated downstream to mills. • Potatoes, apples, and other fruits and vegetables grow in the few areas without forests.
