weather Canada

Since coming to Canada environment is very clean and fresh although weather was very cold but every one feel fresh air. Actually Canada is one of the best countries in the world. there are many wood resources such as forest in Canada, And this help to have fresh and clean air. Unfortunately I landed to Canada on december 2013 so I can write just about winter not other season. Canada is often associated with cold weather and snow, but in reality, its climate is as diverse as its landscape. Generally, Canadians enjoy four very distinct seasons, particularly in the more populated regions along the US border. Daytime summer temperatures can rise to 35°C and higher, while lows of -25°C are not uncommon in winter. More moderate temperatures are the norm in spring and fall During the winter months of December, January, February and March, the temperature in Canada remains below freezing most of the time, with the exception of parts of the Pacific and the Atlantic coasts. In the winter, it is possible to freeze to death unless you have the proper clothing, training and experience. Snow falls in many forms: from wet and heavy to cold and fine. Fine snow can be blown by winds creating snow storms. Bare flesh will freeze in less than five minutes on very cold January nights and days, which can reach 40 degrees Celsius below freezing. Snow usually lies on the ground in Canada from late December to mid-March and longer in the north. The seasonal variations in climate greatly affect the Canadian experience and contribute to Canada’s culture. Almost all homes and offices are equipped with central heating. Public radio and television stations give weather forecasts regularly. Some houses and apartments have thermostats that enable you to control the heating system. The weather offers an endless source of conversational material. It is common that people talk about the weather when they exchange greetings. The cycle of the seasons greatly influences the way people dress. When new immigrants are planning what to wear, the Canadian weather forecasts on radio and television often cause confusion because of terms such as «a nice day», a «sunny day», or «a warm day» when talking about weather in the winter. The unspoken words «…for a winter day» are understood by Canadians, but not always by newcomers. As a result, they may not dress warmly enough.

Canada's artists

Thomas John "Tom" Thomson (August 5, 1877 – July 8, 1917) was an influential cCanadian artist of the early 20th century. He directly influenced a group of Canadian painters that would come to be known as the Group of Seven, and though he died before they formally formed, he is sometimes incorrectly credited as being a member of the group itself. Thomson died under mysterious circumstances, which added to his mystique.

J. E. H. MacDonald (1873–1932)MacDonald was born on May 12, 1873 in Durham, England^[1] to an English mother and Canadian father,^[2] who was a cabinetmaker.^[3]In 1887 at the age of 14, he emigrated with his family to Hamilton, Ontario.^[4] That year he began his first training as an artist at the Hamilton Art School,^[1] where he studied under John Ireland and Arthur Heming.^[3] In 1889, they moved again to Toronto, where he studied commercial art and became active in the Toronto Art Student League. He continued his training at the Central Ontario School of Art and Design, where he studied with George Agnew Reid and William Cruikshank

A. J. Casson (1898–1992) was invited to join in 1926

 LeMoine Fitzgerald (1890–1956)Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald (1890 – 1956) was a Canadian artist and art educator. He was the only member of the Group of Seven to be based in western Canada.

His landscapes and still lifes were drawn from his immediate surroundings—the view of the back lane outside his house; a potted plant on the windowsill. His style grew more spare and abstract over his career. His body of work includes painting in oil and watercolour, drawing, printmaking and sculpture.

Arthur Lismer, CC (27 June 1885 – 23 March 1969) was an English-Canadian painter and member of the Group of Seven.

Frank (Franz) Johnston was born in Toronto and like many other Group members, he joined Grip Ltd. as a commercial artist. He studied in Germany from 1904 to 1907. Although his official association with the Group of Seven was brief, his friendship with the artists dated back over a much longer period. In 1910, he left for the United States where he studied art in Philadelphia and worked in commercial design in New York. Although an original member of the Group, Johnston's association was brief. He did exhibit in the exhibition of 1920, but by 1921 he had left Toronto to become Principal at the Winnipeg School of Art.^[1] In the earlier years of their friendship, Johnston had joined MacDonald and Harris on their journeys to Algoma. His paintings from those years express a strong decorative interpretation of the landscape. In later years, the artist's style became more realistic and revealed a strong fascination with the qualities of light. His landscape paintings became very full of images reflected on water. In 1927, Johnston changed his name to the more exotic title of `Franz' Johnston. He painted over 250 paintings in his entire career.

The youngest of the Group of Seven, Franklin Carmichael was born in 1890 in Orillia, Ontario.^[1] His father was a carriage maker.^[1]Carmichael arrived in Toronto at the age of twenty and entered the Ontario College of Art
