Canadian exploration

Canadian exploration refers to the historical and ongoing efforts to discover and navigate the vast landscapes and resources of Canada. This includes the early expeditions by Indigenous peoples and European explorers, such as Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain, who sought new trade routes and territories. The exploration of Canada has led to the mapping of its diverse geography, the establishment of colonies, and the understanding of its rich natural resources. Today, it encompasses scientific research, environmental studies, and the search for mineral and energy resources, reflecting the balance between exploration and conservation in a modern context.
