This is must- have information if you are doing your country report on Canada!

Québec is Canada’s largest province and it is located on the northeast section of North America. We think of Texas as a large state in the US, so it’s pretty impressive to think that Québec province is more than twice the size of Texas! Just over 7.4 million people live in Québec. Compare that once again to Texas, which had almost 21 million residents in 2002, according to the US Census, and you’ll see that you have a lot more space per person in Québec. It’s twice the size and has about 1/3 the people!

The two largest cities in Québec provence are Montreal and the capital, Québec City. Both of these cities are located along the St. Lawrence, which is one of the largest rivers in the world.

Below you’ll find special resources for both of these cities that we’ve assembled with the help of various Canadian tourism boards.
