Fronted on three sides by ocean and webbed with fresh water, the lakes of Canada have long molded the lives of the people who have reached their shores. Canadian history is rich with tales of exploration; migration; settlement; industry; commerce, and recreation. Through the people and communities tied to the lakes today, we tell the stories of our varied ancestors' and their struggle to survive and thrive in these places of abundance and peril. Travel across the country and through time to six of Canada's greatest bodies of water:

• Bras d'Or Lake
• Lake Winnipeg

• Kootenay Lake
• Great Slave Lake
