1 paragraphs · 2 questions
Four provinces make up Atlantic Canada: Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Their coastlines and their natural resources shaped the story of Canada. Fishing, farming, forestry and mining have all mattered here for a very long time. The Atlantic Ocean also shapes the weather. Winters are cool, and summers are cool and damp. Because of the sea, no part of this region ever feels far from the water.
