Canada Cities, provinces and regions All About Canada

Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, is located on the Ottawa River on the border between Ontario and Quebec. It is Canada’s fourth largest city.

Canada has 10 provinces and three territories, each with its own capital city. These provinces and territories are commonly grouped into five regions (see Table 2.1 below).

The three largest cities in Canada are Toronto (Ontario), Montréal (Quebec) and Vancouver (British Columbia). The total population of these cities is over 10 million people (almost one-third of the Canadian population).

The population of Canada has a very uneven distribution. Due to factors related to historical settlement, climate and the economy, the majority of people live in southern Ontario and Quebec, southwest British Columbia and Alberta. Much of the north has a very low population density, mostly due to the cold climate.
