Fish Distribution
The distribution of fresh-
water fish species is on a
north-south basis. In the
southern regions, you find
bass, muskellunge (also
known as maskinonge or
muskie) and pike. Moving
north, trout becomes more
frequent.
In the north, too, are the
great northern pike, prized
trophy of many anglers.
Farther north still, you
come across such species as
arctic char and arctic gray-
ling.
Fishing regulations and
seasons vary from province
to province and visitors are
advised to check in advance
with the individual prov-
inces they will be visiting.
Hiking is an activity that
has enjoyed an upsurge in
popularity. For really ex-
periencing the feel of the
land it’s hard to top.

or careless hunters hit insulators . . . many people suffer interrupted elec-

insulators, but it costs much more in the inconvenience and safety hazards
to your neighbors if blackouts occur. So think before you shoot.
And if you notice a broken insulator, or one being broken, please notify

Since 1955, the last year in
which the labor force was
equally divided in terms of
blue and white collar, the gap
has been widening. National-

In a land as vast and
lightly populated as Canada
(21.5 million people occupy
close to four million square
miles), the opportunities
for outdoors activities are
almost unlimited. There are
plenty of lakes and streams,
fields and forests, moun-
tains and valleys for every-
one.
You can hike, fish, boat,
ski, canoe, camp, birdwatch
or golf to your heart’s con-
tent. Each of the 10 prov-
inces and two territories
has abundant natural beau-
ty and facilities for a vari-
ety of activities.
You can enjoy the thrill
of deep sea fishing in all
