Canada is the first country ever to build a landing pad specifically for UFOs. It’s located in Alberta and was opened back in 1967. Canada’s Minister of National Defence at the time was also there to see the unveiling.
The platform weighs in at an impressive amount of 130 tons, and the concrete structure also contains a time capsule, only to be opened in 2067.
Canada's National Parks
One of the fascinating facts about Canada is that the country is so big, even its parks dwarf other countries. Just look at Nahanni National Park Reserve; it's an incredible 30,050 square kilometers—bigger than countries like Israel and Albania.
Wood Buffalo National Park is even bigger at 44,807 square kilometers, which makes it bigger than the Netherlands, Denmark, and Switzerland.
Santa Claus is Canadian
Canada's Minister of Immigration declared that Santa Claus was a Canadian citizen. He also argued that this is why his signature look is a red and white suit – the colors of Canada.
For those who want to, they can send letters to Santa, using this address: Santa Claus, North Pole, H0H 0H0, Canada.
Goose
Canada has three official languages and one of them is "goose" — just kidding. Their official languages are French and English, but Canadian geese have their own language.
Scientists believe that geese have as many as 13 different animal calls that are distinctly their own, everything from greetings and warnings to happiness.
Manitoba is Snake Territory
Although most people would think that Australia is the snake capital of the world, the province of Manitoba actually has the largest concentration of snakes in the world.
Around 70,000 snakes came out of hibernation in the Prairie province this year. The most popular breed is the red-sided garter snake.
