Page "Canadian cuisine" Paragraph 23

Wild game of all sorts is still hunted and eaten by many Canadians, though not commonly in urban centres.

Venison, from white-tailed deer, moose, elk ( wapiti ) or caribou, is eaten across the country and is considered quite important to many First Nations cultures.

Seal meat is eaten, particularly in the Canadian North, the Maritimes, and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Wild fowl like ducks and geese, grouse ( commonly called partridge ) and ptarmigan are also regularly hunted.

Other animals like bear and beaver may be eaten by dedicated hunters or indigenous people, but are not generally consumed by much of the population.
