How to Remember Canada's Provinces and Territories

Walk across the map from west to east: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, then the four Atlantic provinces, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Then go north for the three territories, west to east again: Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. A fixed route means you always know what comes next and notice when one is missing.
