 I think Canada is most known for its beautiful Niagara water falls! The Niagara falls are a group of 54 meter high waterfalls on the border to Canada and USA. It’s not one of the worlds biggest water fall, but it’s very wide, and it’s beautiful. It’s a big tourist attraction!  We all know the word maple syrup, right? And yes, it’s an invention from this wonderful country! It’s a typical food in Canada. Maple syrup is made from black maple trees. This syrup is often eaten with pancakes, waffles, french toast, porrige or oatmeal. Exept for this, the Candadian don’t really have a typical dish of food or like that. It depends a lot on how you where raised and what you’re parents tought you to eat. I guess it’s like just as any other country. You eat what you like! Celebrities is all around the world. Canada has brought for example theese two artists to the world: Avril Lavigne. A great singer that has become very successfull! And world famous Justin Bieber. They are both two proud canadians who’s now famous all over the world!
