another part, there is a glass floor which you can stand on to see
how high up you are.
Niagara Falls
There are 2 parts of Niagara Falls; one in the U.S.A., and one in
Canada. There are 168000 metres of water that fall from the
waterfall each minute, and every once in awhile, some mental bloke
jumps off the bridge at the top in a barrel. 5 out of 15 of them have
died. The falls are also used for hydroelectricity, because it is the
most powerful waterfall in North America. The Falls were formed by
melting glaciers, and there is a series
of tunnels
behind it.

Canada’s Wonderland
Location and Overview
Canada's Wonderland is a 330 acre theme park located in
Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, 30 kilometres north of Toronto,
Ontario. It is considered one of North America's best amusement
parks, with more than 200 attractions. The park is open
seasonally from May to October. While under Paramount Pictures
(later bought by Viacom) ownership from 1994 until 2006, the
park was known as Paramount Canada's Wonderland, until it was
sold to Cedar Fair and reverted to its original name. The park has
also been the most attended seasonal theme park in North
America for two years running (2005 and 2006).Park attendance
in 2005 was 3.7 million people. In 2006, attendance was just over
3.2 million. A season’s pass in 2008 will cost an adult $88 and a
child $66.
History
In 1972, the Taft Broadcasting
Company first proposed building
a 1.50 km² (330 acre) theme park
in the small village of Maple, now
part of Vaughan, Ontario.
On June 13, 1979, Ontario
Premier William Davis depressed
the plunger on an electronic
detonating device, triggering an
explosion on the site.
Construction on Canada’s
Wonderland began immediately
and continued through to early
1981.On May 23, 1981, Canada's
Wonderland was officially
opened.
The park's former connection to Hanna-Barbera productions was
reduced after Paramount Pictures purchased the park. Then the park
was renamed Paramount Canada's Wonderland. After Viacom
bought Paramount in 1994, they started using Nickelodeon cartoon
characters that were familiar to a new generation. While the
Nickelodeon channel is not available in Canada, many of the
network's shows air on YTV.
On 14 May 2006, it was announced that Cedar Fair Entertainment Co.
was interested in acquiring the five Paramount theme parks,
including Canada's Wonderland. The deal was completed on 30
June 2006.
In August 2007, Cedar Fair announced that Fearfest would be
renamed Halloween Haunt to remain consistent with other Cedar
Fair parks, they discontinued the Spooktacular show and extended
its regular operating season until the last weekend in October. So,
the park is open to the public during the day, and Halloween Haunt
runs in the late evenings on October weekends. The park also
announced a new hypercoaster called Behemoth, which will be the
largest roller coaster in Canada, and will open in May 2008.
Behemoth will also be the tallest ride in the park, reaching three feet
taller than the park's ride Drop Zone.
Rides
Today, Canada's Wonderland has over 200 attractions, including over
60 thrill rides. The park has North America's 3rd greatest number of
roller coasters with 14 in total, and North America's greatest variety.
The park features eight themed areas on 330 acres (1.3 km²) of land
which includes a 20 acre (81,000 m²) waterpark called Splash Works.
Splash Works has over 2 million gallons (7,570 m³) of heated water,
Canada's largest outdoor wave pool measuring 36,000 square feet
(3,300 m²), a lazy river, and 16 water slides.

Some interesting facts about the Ottawa Royal Canadian Mint:
The oldest and one of the largest gold refineries in the Western
Hemisphere is located at the Mint in Ottawa.
The Mint produces coins for such places as the Czech Republic
and Zambia.
Every one of the collector coins produced in Ottawa is
inspected at the press to ensure premium quality.
We call the one dollar coin a "loonie" because it has an image
of a loon (a bird) on it. We call the two-dollar coin a 'twoonie'.
The gold Maple Leaf Coin is 99.99% pure.
The Royal Canadian Mint was the first to refine gold to this
level of purity for commercial distribution,
establishing a new international gold standard.
Lansdowne Park is a sports center.
It has a dome, a rink an indoor and
outdoor soccer pitch.
It is also the home of the Ottawa 67s
who are a hockey team.
One really big event in July was the U20 FIFA World Cup. Argentina won it.

Rocky Mountains
The Rockies are a famous North American Mountain range that runs
mostly along the north western part of the continent. In Canada, it
runs through British Columbia and Alberta, before crossing the
boarder into the United States.
The Canadian Rockies have a different appearance than most because
they are heavily glaciated which caused them to be very pointed with
deep u-shaped valleys and glaciers. The American Rockies on the
other hand, are more rounded at the peaks and have v-shaped valleys.
Here are some other interesting facts:
Tallest Mountain in the Canadian Rockies is Mnt Robinson at 3, 954m
Most difficult climb in the Rockies is Mount Alberta at 3,619
There are 5 national parks in the Rockies named Banff, Jasper,
Kootenay, Yoho and Waterton
Mount Logan
Mount Logan is the tallest mountain in Canada and the second highest
in North American. It is 5959 meters tall, located in the Yukon Territory
in Cluane National Park. The first successful accent was on Tuesday,
June 23rd, 1925 by a group of 4 mountaineers.
One very unique feature of this mountain is the very wide base. In
fact, the circumference is the largest of any mountain in world. This
mountain was named in honour of William Edmond Logan who was
the first Director of the Geological Survey of Canada.
Valley of the Ten Peaks
The Valley of the Ten Peaks is located in Banff National park that is
crowded by 10 mountain peaks surround Moraine Lake. The tallest
mountain is Delta Form at 3,424m. This is both a famous and beautiful
location and was on the Canadian $20 bill for many years. The lake is
a stunning turquoise and in a photo you would not believe the colour
until you see it with your own eyes. The lake is this colour because it
is made from melted glaciers and is freezing cold. In some areas near
the lake, you must travel with a number of people because of the
presence of grizzly bears.
