Q5.
Every year, Quebec City has an Ice Hotel. The hotel melts in the summer, but is rebuilt every winter. The
name Ice Hotel isn’t an exaggeration. Everything inside the hotel is made of ice. The hotel’s cafe has tables
and chairs made of ice, and even glasses made of ice. The rooms are like little snow caves, windowless,
with curtains instead of a door. Before spending a night in the Ice Hotel, guests must sit through a special
seminar on how to not get frostbite while they sleep.
Q6.
When Jacques Cartier, a French explorer, came to the New World in the 16
th
century, he met with local
natives. They invited him and his companions to their kanata (the word for village or settlement in their
language). Cartier misunderstood, and believed the natives were referring to the entire country as Kanata. So, he named the new country as Kanata. Nowadays we call it Canada. Q7.
Canada is formally a constitutional monarchy, with the British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, as the
supreme governor of the state. Canada passed back and forth between French and British monarchs over
the centuries before becoming an independent nation. The queen no longer rules Canada, but she still plays
a significant role in the government and in Canada’s national identity, and appears prominently on
Canadian currency.
