    Hudson Bay Railway

    The idea of the Hudson Bay Railway, which eventually came to run from Winnipeg to The Pas, and then to Churchill, Manitoba, was conceived by public and private interests in the late 19th century as a means of transporting grain as quickly as possible onto ships for overseas sale. Over a period of almost 50 years, construction efforts ran into various problems — including engineering disputes, storms, a harsh northern climate, fires, labour unrest, and material and labour shortages. From 1910 onwards, the federal government took charge of paying for the engineering and construction work for the railway line, particularly after the creation of Canadian National Railways in 1919. The line was completed in 1929 and opened for full service in 1931. (See also Railway History in Canada.)

    Human Settlement in Canada

    A human settlement is a place where people live. Settlement patterns describe the ways in which villages, towns, cities and First Nation reserves are distributed, as well as the factors that influence this arrangement. Throughout Canadian history, climate, natural resources, transportation methods and government policy have affected human settlement in the country. Today, the majority of Canadians live in cities in the southern portion of the country. (See also Human Geography and Canada.)
