Lowest points

[edit]

Since there is no land area of Canada that is belowsea level,[1] the lowest elevation of Canada is at any point along its maritime coast, and all provinces and territories except Alberta and Saskatchewan have a maritime coast. The shore ofLake Athabasca, which straddles Alberta and Saskatchewan, is Saskatchewan's lowest dry point (213 m (699 ft)above sea level). TheSlave River (which drains Lake Athabasca) flows from northeastern Alberta into theNorthwest Territories and is Alberta's lowest point at the N.W.T. border (152 m (499 ft) above sea level). However, the False Creek Tunnel, part of theCanada Line rail-based transit system inVancouver, at 29 m (95 ft) below sea level, is the lowest publicly accessible point in Canada.[14] Parts ofRichmond, British Columbia are below sea-level, though behind dikes.[citation needed]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^Fairweather Mountain is the officially gazetted name, but Mount Fairweather is the common usage. Mount Fairweather is on the boundary withAlaska, with only the summit and approximately 1/3 of the peak'smassif within British Columbia. The highest summit completely within British Columbia isMount Waddington in thePacific Ranges of theCoast Mountains, thethird-highest mountain in the province after Fairweather andQuincy Adams.
  2. ^Because it is on theContinental Divide of the Americas, Mount Columbia is in British Columbia as well as Alberta
  3. ^Nirvana is the unofficial name of this mountain and shows on alpine literature as such, as of 2008[update] the Canadian Government still refers to it as "unnamed peak"
  4. ^This peak, which lies on the border between the two provinces, is known as Mount Caubvick in Newfoundland and Labrador and Mont D'Iberville in Quebec. The summit of the mountain is entirely within Labrador, about 10 m (33 ft) from the provincial border
  5. ^The main peak ofMaple Mountain has a higher vertical rise over the surrounding landscape, 37 m (121 ft) higher than the Ishpatina Ridge rising over Scarecrow Lake
