Canada had 1,137 municipalities that held city, town or ville status as of 2011. This list presents the 100 largest of these municipalities by land area in square kilometres at the time of the 2011 census. The geographically massive cities in Quebec – three of them larger than the entire province of Prince Edward Island – were created in the 1990s, when the provincial government added some vast unorganized areas (territoires non organisés) into self-governing municipalities, centred on a single dominant urban centre and surrounded by extensive tracts of forest and sparsely populated expanses. The geographically massive cities in Ontario were created in the 1990s, when the provincial governm…

Canada is divided into 10 provinces and three territories. The majority of Canada's population is concentrated in the areas close to the Canada–US border. Its four largest provinces by area (Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta) are also its most populous; together they account for 86.5 percent of the country's population. The territories (the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon) account for over a third of Canada's area but are home to only 0.32 percent of its population, which skews the national population density value. Canada's population grew by 5.24 percent between the 2016 and 2021 censuses. With the exceptions of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Northwest Territorie…

Origin of a carbonate-rich breccia at Lake Minogami, Shawinigan area, Grenville Province, Quebec. The Lake Minogami carbonate breccia (LMCB) exhibits field characteristics similar to those of a carbonatite diatreme, but a geochemical signature reflecting derivation from nearby marbles. The rocks display a very fine grained calcite matrix containing mechanically abraded rounded rock fragments. The breccia shows mineralogy and geochemistry distinct from carbonatites, namely a high SiO2 content (÷30%), low abundances of compatible and incompatible trace elements and limited REE fractionation. In addition, breccia samples show REE normalized patterns parallel to those of nearby tectonic marble…
