As reported in the Canadian Encyclopedia, Starting in the early 16thh century, it was the rich supply of cod fish, which attracted fisherman to the areas off the coast of Newfoundland, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.  But the development of the country resulted from the nearly 250 years, from the early 17th  to the mid-19th century, of the fur trade, which was a vast commercial enterprise across Canada.  Competition for beaver pelts opened Canada to exploration and settlement, it finances missionary work, established social, economic and colonial relationships between European and indigenous peoples.

According to the Canadian Wildlife Federation, preserving the freshwater of the Great lakes, which contain 20% of the worlds supply of fresh water, is a major goal.  It provides about 25 % of Canadians and 10% of  North Americans, 33 million people directly with their drinking water.  

Cultural Mosaic, as defined by the Oxford reference, was coined from John Murray Gibbon's 1938 book.  It differs from the USA's Melting Pot approach to Immigrant assimilation, in that, it encourages each individual cultural group to retain its distinct identity, and language, while still contributing to the nation as a whole.  It has become a part of Canadian multiculturalism policy in the 1970's.  

According to Statistics Canada, the largest number of First Nation people lived in Ontario, and the western provinces, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the British Territories.  

According to the World Atlas, Quebec is the only province where the majority of the population speaks French.  About 7 million Canadians speak French, though since 1969 English is of equal status.

According to the website, www.firstpeopleofcanada.com, The Inuit, being nomadic people, in the summer, built shelter tents, out of driftwood or poles covered with caribou or sealskin, with a ring of boulders around the base to hold down the tent skin coverings.

According to the teachings of the Catholic Church what was the purpose of sacraments
eduard

The Catholic Church has taught that the sacraments were given to the church as a way for God, through the Church, to convey his grace and power to those who took part in the sacraments ... and that this grace and power from God then enables those who receive the sacraments to do works pleasing to God.

The Catechism of the Council of Trent, published in 1566, described the seven sacraments of the Church as "the sacraments of the New Law instituted by Jesus Christ."  The catechism also affirmed that these actions "conferred grace through the act performed."

Under current definition by the United States Council of Catholic Bishops, "through the Sacraments, God shares his holiness with us so that we, in turn, can make the world holier."

The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church are:

  • Baptism
  • Eucharist (the Mass)
  • Reconciliation (formerly called Penance)
  • Confirmation
  • Anointing of the Sick (formerly referred to as Last Rites or Extreme Unction)
  • Marriage
  • Ordination

Note that an individual can participate in six, not seven, of the sacraments, because those ordained into clergy roles are expected to remain celibate and unmarried.
