CULTURE OF CANADA
Language
• Canada is a bilingual country, with both English and French listed as official
languages. In matters of law and government, English takes precedence in
all the provinces save for Quebec, with English versions of all statutes
serving as the final arbiter in disputes over interpretation.
• Twenty years ago, the proportion of Canadians reporting English as their
first language or mother tongue was just under 60 percent, while those
reporting French as their mother tongue was around 25 percent.
• Today the numbers show there is an even greater percentage of English
speakers in the country (and Fewer French speakers), largely due to the
large influx of Americans taking up residence in Canada. The minority
languages of Canada continue to reflect the immigration patterns of the
country
SPORTS
Canada’s official national sports are
hockey in the winter and lacrosse in the
summer. Hockey is the sport most played
by Canadians, with 1.65 millions
participants. Other popular spectator
sports include curling and football, that is

Football League (CFL).
Canada has hosted several high-profile
international sporting events, including
the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal,
the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, and
the 2007 FIFA U20 World Cup. Canada
was the host nation for the 2010 Winter
Olympics in Vancouver.

CULTURE OF CANADA
Religion
In Canada, there is no official religion. As with
many developed countries, religious affiliation
is much more prevalent than religious
observance, although official statistics vary by
ethnic and religious group.
The majority of Canadians claim some type of
religious affiliation, most often Christianity,
although the number of people claiming no
religious affiliation has steadily risen since the
1980s. Nonetheless, Canada is home to
practitioners of many different faiths and belief
systems.

Cuisine
Poutine Attempting to identify a particular cuisine of
Canada is not an easy proposition, as the multiethnic and
multicultural makeup of Canada has resulted in a wide
range of food preferences and cooking styles. When most
people think of Canadian cuisine, they no doubt focus on
items such as Canadian bacon and maple syrup, and
while these foods are seen as uniquely Canadian, they
only scratch the surface of this delicious and rather quirky
gastronomy
