Names of Pan-Canadian significance are the names of geographical entities that, because of their importance, have two forms recognized by the federal government, one in English and the other in French. These entities include the provinces, the territories and their administrative subdivisions (except those with the same spelling in both languages), major rivers flowing to the sea and bodies of water or geographical features (rivers, mountains, islands, straits) which have in common the characteristic of covering a large area, lying in more than one province or territory or extending beyond Canada's border. 2, record 1, English, - name%20of%20Pan%2DCanadian%20significance
