Hi, my name is Aliya and I’m going to be talking about the field journal entry that I’ve created for my collage. The collage I have created depicts Canadian culture based off of what I think it is. The first images I used, which are poutine, maple syrup, and Beavertails, are classic Canadian food staples. It seems basic, but I believe that they hold a deeper meaning than just being delicious food. To start off, food brings everyone closer. Food is a way people connect with each other and enjoy something together. Poutine, originating in Quebec in the 1950s, became extremely popular among Canadians.

I believe that the photo of the group of people with different ethnicities together is the most significant photo in my collage.
Another photo I chose is of people ice skating. I chose this photo because Canada has a variety of landscapes which allow people to come together and participate in a variety of activities during the winter time, which is another thing Canada is known for. The weather can get cold here and there's usually a lot of snow in certain regions, which makes it perfect for activities such as skiing, snowboarding, sledding, snowmobiling, and ice skating. There are also different carnivals and fairs that are created by Canadians, which allow us to compete and have fun together while playing these
