There are few areas in Canada which have not at one time or another during the past few decades, been drawn to the attention of the public by the movement into them of people and industry as the result of some local characteristic. At the turn of the century it was the wheat fields of the West and the gold discoveries of northern British Columbia and the Yukon. In recent years it has been the iron ore deposits of northern Quebec, the development of extensive mineral finds in the Great Slave Lake area and the valuable oil discoveries of the Prairie regions. Through the medium of the newspaper, motion picture and radio, the average Canadian citizen today has a reasonable geographic knowledge of much of the country and the associated cultural development. However, there are still areas in Canada about which public knowledge is very meagre, regions which due to geographical remoteness or the lack of physical attributes are overshadowed by the commanding interest held by the more spectacular areas. One of these little known areas is the Hudson Bay Lowland, a region that has a history predating the greater part of Canada yet is comparatively unknown to most of the country's population. |
