Canada - Cities Trivia Questions

1. What is Canada's northernmost provincial capital?

From Quiz Canadian Capital Geography

Answer: Edmonton

Edmonton is often referred to as "the gateway to the north". It is the capital of Alberta. Edmonton was incorporated as a town in 1892 and a city in 1904, becoming the capital of the new province of Alberta a year later. None of the other options given in this question are provincial capitals, but Ottawa is the capital of the country of Canada.

2. What funny sound finishes the funny town name in Quebec? Saint-Louis-du- _______ _______

From Quiz Hilarious Canadian Place Names

Answer: Ha! Ha!

Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!, Quebec is located south of the St. Lawrence River in eastern Quebec. The exclamation marks are officially part of the name of the town. Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha! lies on the Trans-Canada Highway, so many pass by this funny-sounding name on their trips across the country. It is thought that the "haha" in the name actually comes from an ancient French word for "impasse". In 2017, the town set a Guinness World Record for "the most exclamation points in a town name".

Answer: Giant Pacific Octopus

"Armstrong", the large Pacific octopus, is a popular creature in the Pacific Undersea Gardens. When we visit there, we will descend five meters below the water's tide line, where we will observe a very large variety of marine life from the Pacific Coast. We will watch the scuba divers feed and play with "Armstrong", the giant Pacific octopus, as well as the divers playing with and feeding the wolf eels and crabs. We will be able to see such creatures as the spiny rock cod, red snapper, and Pacific salmon. I'm sure that you'll agree that this is a wonderful place to feel the thrill of a deep sea dive without ever getting wet.

Answer: Wawa

Wawa, Ontario lies on the Trans-Canada highway in the Sault Ste. Marie area. It became a town during the fur trading days in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Later, minerals were discovered in the area and it became a mining town. In 1960, a 8.5-metre (28-foot) statue of a Canada goose was built on the edge of town as a tourist attraction to draw drivers into the town from the nearby Trans-Canada Highway. Wawa got its name from the Ojibwe (local First Nation) word for "wild goose" ("wewe").

11. Try this one on for size. What's the name of a municipality on Prince Edward Island?

From Quiz Peculiar Places #1: Canada

Answer: Lady Slipper

The Prince Edward Island lady's slipper is a delicate and rare pink orchid found on the small, easterly, Canadian maritime province as well as other areas in northern North America. The flower does resemble a tiny ballet slipper, and seems to have evolved to trap insects which are then forced to pollinate the flower as they crawl out. The town of Lady Slipper on the north part of the island, with a population of less than a thousand, was combined with another small municipality to form the new municipality of Central Prince in 2018. In the 1970s, an island coast road was designated Lady Slipper Drive and was promoted as a tourist attraction where motorists could stop and view this beautiful forest dwelling marvel. The lady's slipper is the state flower of Minnesota as well as Prince Edward Island's provincial flower.

Some of the dinosaurs on exhibit include the Albertosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Corythosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Protoceratops, and Tyrannosaurus Rex. If you enjoy the thrill of seeing dinosaurs, like I do, then you'll agree that this is the place to be, so we can enjoy the immense size of the sculptures even against the city skyline of Calgary.

Come with me and enjoy the spectacular wildlife here or we can take in a day of boating, rowing and boat racing here at Wascana Lake.
