Today, in 1909, the United States and Canada signed the Boundary Waters Treaty, one of our two countries' most important bilateral treaties. Since then, the International Joint Commission has worked to ensure cooperation on our shared natural resources for the last 115 years!

#DYK that you can see the Northern Lights (almost) anywhere in Canada during all four seasons? The very best place to see aurora borealis in Canada is the Northwest Territories, where they're visible nearly 240 nights a year! ✨

Northern lights are formed when electrons and protons collide with gasses in Earth’s upper atmosphere. Those collisions produce tiny flashes that fill the sky with colourful light. Have you ever seen them in person? 📸 NASA

Did you know that the ISS celebrates New Year’s 16 times? 🎉 The ISS travels at a speed of 8 km per second, orbiting Earth about every 90 minutes. That means that in 2023, the ISS orbited Earth more than 5,000 times! 📸 NASA
