Spring is the season when things start to warm up to make the snow melt, the flowers bloom and the trees grow leaves. The four seasons The temperature at this time of varies between 5 °C and 20 °C.

This is the warmest period in the year when temperatures reach a maximum of 35°C. The weather is hot and people can bike, run and swim. During the summer vacation many people like to camp and canoe to get away from the busy city. Camping is when people live in tents and cook on the fire outdoors. It is a good way to enjoy nature and watch wildlife. During a walk in the woods the most common animal to cross paths with is the moose, one of Canada’s largest mammals.

Because of the colder weather and the shorter days, the trees get ready for winter. The green colour of the leaves is from the chlorophyll produced by the tree to turn light into energy (photosynthesis). As the amount of light lessens in the fall, less chlorophyll is produced and the other pigments are expressed such as red, yellow and orange. This happens across Canada. Eventually all the leaves fall off the trees as winter begins. Fall leaves The last and coldest season is winter. The temperatures vary from 0°C to -20°C. For most of the winter there is snow and ice. Many people in the winter enjoy activities such as skiing and skating or playing hockey on the frozen ponds or lakes.
