OK, so I broke down and bought Oscar Brand's Something to Sing About Songbook. I guess, then, that this is the definitive transcription.

SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT (Canadian Version)
(Oscar Brand)

I have walked cross the sand on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland,*
Lazed on the ridge of the Mirimichi.
Seen the waves tear and roar at the stone coast of Labrador,
Watched them roll back to the great northern sea.

CHORUS
From the Vancouver Island to the Alberta Highland,
Cross the prairie, the Lakes to Ontario's towers.
From the sound of Mount Royal's chimes out to the Maritimes,
Something To Sing About, this land of ours.

I have welcomed the dawn from the fields of Saskatchewan,
Followed the sun to the Vancouver shore.
Watched it climb shiny new up the snow peaks of Caribou,
Up to the clouds where the wild Rockies soar.
CHORUS

I have heard the wild wind sing the places that I have been,
Bay Bull and Red Deer and Strait of Belle Isle.
Names like Grand-Mére and Silverthorne, Moose Jaw and Marrowbone,
Trails of the pioneer, named with a smile.
CHORUS

I have wandered my way to the wild wood of Hudson Bay,
Treated my toes to Quebec's morning dew.
Where the sweet summer breeze kissed the leaves of the maple trees,
Sharing this song that I'm singing to you.
CHORUS

Yes, there's something to sing about, tune up a string about,
Call out in chorus or quietly hum,
Of a land that's still young with a ballad that's still unsung,
Telling the promise of great things to come.
CHORUS

This is almost exactly the same as the lyrics posted by Bob Landry in 1997, way up above toward the beginning of this thread....but I figured we had the Canadian version fairly correct.

*Since the Grand Banks are completely under water, Brand later changed this line to:

"I've walked many a mile on the shores of Prince Edward Isle"
