Quebec
Ouebec Flag
GEOGRAPHY: The province occupies a vast territory most of which is very sparsely populated. More
than 90 percent of Quebec's area lies within the Canadian Shield and includes the greater part of the
Labrador peninsula. The addition of parts of the vast and scarcely populated District of Ungava of the
Northwest Territories between 1898 and 1912 created the modern Province of Quebec. Quebec is
bordered by the province of Ontario, James Bay and Hudson Bay to the west, the provinces of New
Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador to the east, the United States (Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont and New York) to the south and Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay to the north.
AREA: Total Land 1,542,056 km², Water 1,183,128 km²
