Royal Canadian Geographical Societys Canadian Atlas Online is said to be a groundbreaking Internet achievement that brings cartography to life with exciting graphics and animation. The site offers 16 different themes in four categories to navigate through the maps.
Using four categories - The Land, The Regions, The People and The Issues the interactive maps contain in-depth information as well as interactive and rich-media presentations on Canadas environment, history, society and economy.
Fully bilingual, the map can be used as a learning module for teachers across the country. The Learning Center has designed lesson plans categorized by province and by grade level (middle school grades 6 to 8, and secondary school grades 9 to 12).
