MATAPÉDIA VALLEY the Matapédia Valley Is One of the 5 Natural Regions of the Gaspé Peninsula DESTINATIONS MATAPÉDIA VALLEY The Matapédia Valley is one of the 5 natural regions of the Gaspé Peninsula. It is not bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, but has many other assets such as mountains that are part of the Appalachian chain, vast forests, and lakes and rivers teeming with salmon. You will also find magnificent ancestral homes, churches, historic sites and covered bridges. The valley was settled by indigenous people more than 2500 years ago. Today, there remains only a community of a few thousand people of Aboriginal descent, grouped in isolated reserves. The name Matapédia means “place where the rivers meet” in Mi’kmaq. It is the perfect destination for anyone seeking contact with nature in its purest form.

  • Canada's Ocean Supercluster: Vision and Mission
    CANADA’S OCEAN SUPERCLUSTER: VISION AND MISSION 1 SUMMARY Overview and Objectives The Ocean Supercluster is an industry-led collaboration that will build Canada’s ocean economy into one of the country’s most significant and sustainable value-creating economic segments. It is built around the critical mass of ocean-based companies in Atlantic Canada; however, the Ocean Supercluster is a national undertaking, with investment from companies in eight provinces and one territory, and linkages already initiated with indigenous groups and international partners. The Ocean Supercluster will transform Canada’s ocean economy into a technology-driven, digitally- powered knowledge economy. Unlike clusters organized around a single sector, the Ocean Supercluster will be the first in the world built on a strategy to tackle the shared challenges of multiple ocean sectors through a collaborative program of innovation activities. Companies working across different ocean-based value chains will join with providers of enabling technologies and other partners to form a new not-for-profit entity. The core strategic priorities for the Ocean Supercluster are to formulate a shared innovation map to guide technology leadership projects, and to undertake a program of cluster building to enhance the quality of collaborations, while also extending their benefits widely. Work on the shared innovation roadmap is underway. Scoping workshops led by industry, with academic and government partners, have identified shared challenges and bottlenecks, and established the preliminary focus for technology leadership collaborations. As a result of this work, Ocean Supercluster will be ready to launch projects early in 2018. The opportunity for Canada is significant. Today, the economic potential of Canada’s ocean resources is under-developed.

  • Chapter 6 Climate
    Chapter 6 Climate Climate . Canada's climate is not as cold all year around as some may believe. In winter, temperatures fall below freezing point throughout most of Canada. But the south- western coast has a relatively mild climate. Along the Arctic Circle, mean temperatures are below freezing for seven months a year. Climate . During the summer months the southern provinces often experience high levels of humidity and temperatures that can surpass 30 degrees Celsius regularly. Western and south-eastern Canada experience high rainfall, but the Prairies are dry with 250 mm to 500 mm of rain every year. Weather/Climate . Weather – Is the result of the day-to-day conditions of the atmosphere. Climate – A long term pattern of weather – Climate Is The Weather + Weather + More Weather .
