 * Welcome the Great White North!** Here you will find so many incredible things, such as a culturally diverse lifestyle enveloped in an equally diverse landscape.

The North is divided into two regions based on climate: the near north, and the far north. The near north, which is closer to the equator, is a boreal forest with many evergreen forests and is home to Metis people. The far north, however is, very different. Mostly tundra-like, the far north is where very few non-Aboriginal people live. Mostly, Inuit people live in the far north.
