The 13 provinces and territories of Canada
Canada has 13 provinces and territories. This page lists all of them.
The table shows the English name first. The French name is accepted as an answer too, and it appears in the second column.
English names and local names
The quiz shows English names, because that is what most players type. It accepts the French name as well.
Accent marks do not matter. The quiz folds accents before it compares, so a name typed without them still counts.
Abbreviations are not accepted. A short code is ambiguous, and one code often matches the start of another name.
About the provinces and territories
Canada has provinces and territories. A province holds its powers under the constitution. A territory takes its powers from the federal parliament.
Canada has two official languages: English and French. Each province and territory has an English name and a French name, and the quiz accepts both.
Nunavut is the newest territory. It separated from the Northwest Territories in 1999.
