For Canadian Geography in Year 1, I used a book called, If You're not from the Prairie... by David Bouchard.  The illustrations by Henry Ripplinger are absolutely beautiful.  We also read Paddle-to-the-Sea, By Holling C. Holling, a book about the Great Lakes.  I am from Alberta and we travel back there every now and then, so that is the best living geography we could have.  I haven't chosen a specifically Canadian geography book this year, mostly because I haven't found anything I liked yet.

We started history with Our Island Story, considering Canada's roots are there.  I am including some French history this year as well.  We also read Leif the Lucky when we got to that point in history in Our Island Story .  This year, we will add My First History of Canada by Donalda Dickie, and read the chapters that fit in historically with Our Island Story.

 P.S. If you click on the category "Year 1" under the title, you can see a few things we did last year, including the programme from one term (my categories aren't very well organised - sorry!).  I can email you the other term's programmes, if you like, just let me know.
