Maps

Canadian Geographic’s exclusive new Biggest islands of Canada map is meticulously researched and features the country’s 75 largest isles in relative geographical size. This 24” by 36” poster-sized map makes a perfect addition to any space and fits precisely into pre-cut poster-sized frames, making finishing and hanging a breeze. 🇨🇦 Made in Canada, rolled and shipped in a tube. 

This map shows the locations of Indigenous communities, residential schools, reserves and more. Rather than political borders, Canada is broken up into Indigenous language groups.

This resource will assist you in understanding the past, present and future of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. There is a wealth of information and diversity of stories and voices on this map; however, we recognize that no resource will ever be able to encompass all Indigenous voices and stories. The Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS) and Canadian Geographic also recognize that the stories told here are not ours to tell.

It is for this reason that we have worked collaboratively with a number of Indigenous and ally educators and organizations from across Canada to create this resource.

This beautifully designed poster map highlights the foundational connections between us and the ocean and freshwater that surround and sustain us. Co-designed by a national team of partners, it brings to light the connection we all have with water, regardless of where in Canada we call home. 

Canada has the longest coastline of any country in the world and approximately 20 percent of the planet's freshwater resources. The map features Canada's watersheds with flow arrows showing the direction water travels to the ocean, Arctic sea ice extent, and a range of marine and freshwater protected areas. Villages, towns, and cities are included, along with particular illumination of Indigenous communities, treaties, and Indigenous languages spoken across the entirety of what we now call Canada. 

Adapted from the Canadian Geographic Giant Floor Map of the same name, this poster version has been expertly designed as an art print. Cohesive colour palettes bring out the freshwater and ocean blues, making it perfect for framing in a home, classroom or library.
