Our vast land has many different towns and cities, all with very different names. In fact, Canada has about 350,000 official place names, according to the Canadian Encyclopedia.

“These include names of populated places, water bodies (e.g. lakes) and geographical features (e.g. mountains),” states the Encyclopedia. “Canadian place names have a variety of origins, including Aboriginal languages, royalty, famous people and religion.”
