Filmed for the most part from a low-flying aircraft, this documentary short presents a breathtaking view of Canada from coast to coast. Showing the varied terrain, from craggy coast to towering glacier, the film illustrates Canada’s pristine wilderness as well as today's industrial and urban realities. Canada the Land was specially commissioned for the Canada Pavilion at the Osaka World Fair in 1970.

Suite à la projection de ce court métrage, l’enseignant pourrait diviser la classe selon les régions abordées dans le film et demander aux élèves d’approfondir leur sujet. Ainsi, certains pourraient concentrer leurs efforts sur la région des Prairies, d’autres sur la région des Maritimes ou encore sur la région du Grand Nord ou de la vallée du St-Laurent. À la fin de l’exercice, une mise en commun pourrait être effectuée.
