Whether they live in cities or rural areas, these young people are growing up in a country that has two national languages, French and English, welcomes immigrants, is socially tolerant, and places a lot of emphasis on their education, independence, and happiness. Featured is an overview of the country, as well as insights into how Canada s youth experience home and family, education and work, social life, and more.
