Culture The school year in Canada begins the first week of September and ends in June. The school systems are run by the individual provinces. Each province has its own department of education as well as its own systematized training for prospective teachers. Except for some private schools education in Canada is free. Children start school around age five or six and go on though elementary school. Children attend secondary school from grade eight of nine through grade twelve. After that they continue their education by attending technical school, community colleges, or universities, if they have high grades. Sn exciting development in Canada is the continuing popularity of adult education classes throughout the country. Older Canadians are discovering and enjoying the challenges of the classroom.

The true pleasure of Canadian food is that there is such a variety. Supermarkets and small stores sell imported specialties and foods that that are made in Canada but originate in other countries. Examples of the various foods include German-style breads, Chinese cabbage, and English mincemeat. They are supplemented by the delicious specialties of each region.

Cultural individualism in Canada is celebrated and adds positively to the whole flavor to the whole, "flavor" of the country. The best example of cultural individualism is in the broad spectrum of languages one hear. If you walk down the streets of Nunavut cities, you may hear Dutch, Chinese, German, Spanish, and Vietnamese, in addition to native languages such as Iroquois, Algonquin, and the languages of the Inuit.
