Canada's Climate

Climate affects the lives of all plants and animals. It affects where and how we live, our growth and our well being. Living creatures have adapted to live within a specific climatic niche. Human adaptability has allowed us to expand into more climate niches than most other creatures. Even so, the human environment and its cultures reflect the influence of climate. This is reflected in customs, shelter, clothing, food preferences, agricultural practices, transportation, and settlement patterns.
