This giant map shows Canada’s 338 federal ridings, scaled down to an 11 by eight-metre surface.

A class of Grades 7 and 8 at École Alvin Buckwold School explored their home ridings and others across the country.

“We’ve seen more detailed version of the ridings and we’ve seen the districts inside too,” Grade 8 student Mubaraz Anwar said on Monday.

The map is the result of a partnership between Canadian Geographic Education and Cable Public Affairs Channel (CPAC).
