Glaciation

About 13,000 years ago, glaciers covered much of Canada. Their passage marked the landscape of Canada, moulding the land into lasting shapes and forms. These landforms, such as eskers and drumlins, can be seen over much of the country today.

This lesson pack focuses on the landforms created by glaciers in the areas of Northern Saskatchewan and Southern Ontario.
