Dear Map Folks,

This new larger size map of Canada has not yet been posted to Maps-L so
I decided that it may be of interest to some. It is now available from
the government under the terms of the depository agreement or if you do
not qualify for that and would like to purchase by purchase order it is
available from World of Maps Inc. (Ottawa) paper CAN$ 25.00 and we have
laminated the map and offer that version for sale at CAN$ 79.95

Faithfully,
Brad Green

(la version française suit)
Natural Resources Canada, has just published a new wall map of Canada.

Published in both official languages, this attractive wall
map of Canada is the latest in the Reference Map of Canada Series
produced
by Natural Resources Canada.  The map shows the political units in 1999,

provinces and territories including Nunavut.

The map's vertical near-side perspective at a scale of 1 : 4000 000,
provides an interesting three-dimensional view of Canada,
effectively showing its geographic relationship with other nations of
the
Northern Hemisphere. Digital relief shading was used to show the
physiography of the country.

The map depicts the location and name of each of the
National Parks.  Also shown is a large selection of cities with
populations
updated to the 1996 Census.  The map shows Canada's limits, both the
international boundaries and the boundary delineating Canada's 200-mile
fishing limit (also known as the Exclusive Economic Zone).  This
bilingual
map of Canada would be a valuable addition to any boardroom or
classroom.

*This map is covered in the Canada Map Office Depository
Agreement.

                Size: 46 in. x 62 in. or 116.8 cm x 157.5 cm

                Ressources naturelles Canada vient de publier une
nouvelle
carte murale du Canada.

                Rédigée dans les deux langues officielles, cette carte
aux
couleurs vives est la dernière-née de la série des cartes de référence
du
Canada. Cette carte politique du Canada présente les provinces et les
territoires y compris le Nunavut.

                La projection retenue, perspective verticale proximale à
une
échelle de 1/4 000 000 donne une vue tridimensionnelle intéressante du
Canada montrant la courbure du globe et représentant ainsi bien la
relation
entre le Canada et les autres pays de l'hémisphère Nord.  Un estompage
numérique a été utilisé pour illustrer la physiographie du pays.

                On y indique également l'emplacement et le nom de chacun
des
parcs nationaux. Elle comprend un grand nombre de villes avec des
données
démographiques du recensement de 1996. Enfin, la carte montre les
limites du
Canada - les frontières internationales ainsi que la limite de la zone
de
pêche des 200 milles (également connue comme la zone économique
exclusive).
Cette carte est rédigée dans les deux langues officielles et serait un
atout
dans toute salle de réunion ou salle de classe.

                *Cette carte est inclus dans l'entente des dépositaires
du
Bureau des cartes du Canada.
