Newfoundland & Labrador: Discover the Past
More Info

While different areas of Canada have very distinct characters and cultures, Newfoundland and Labrador really does stand out from the rest of the country. Perhaps this is because a large part of it is an island, and the other part - Labrador - is attached to the mainland, and is very isolated. Another theory is that this uniqueness is because Newfoundland and Labrador was a separate entity until 1949, only becoming part of Canada in that year. Whatever the reason, there is definitely nowhere else like Newfoundland and Labrador.

Thirty years ago, Sudbury,
Ontario was a far cry from its English namesake located in England's

as an industrial wasteland whose economic stature was its only redeeming quality.
For those who have lost sight of this booming Ontario

which have garnished international attention and have left the city lush, green
and littered with a plethora of natural areas, will surprise even the most pessimistic
of travellers.

Montreal is a rich and vibrant city that boasts a uniqueness born partly from it being the largest French-speaking city in North America. Activities abound in Québec's cultural hub, from diverse festivals and numerous museums to the city's thriving bicultural music and art scene.
The Sights and Sounds of Yellowknife

+ My Favorites
If diamonds are forever, then the city of Yellowknife can expect a long and prosperous future. The capital city of the Northwest Territories rose to the world stage after the 1991 diamond discovery. Yellowknife's Ekati and Diavik mines soon attracted the prestigious De Beers to invest in the world-renowned Snap Lake Diamond Mine. As a result

Thunder Bay: Picture Perfect in Any Season
More Info
|
+ My Favorites
In a province that boasts about the brilliance of its many colours, Thunder
Bay remains proud of its arctic white reputation. Winter’s scenery is reminiscent
of the most sparkling of greeting cards. The sub-zero days are brisk and sunny,
with no lack of people exuberant about the snow and ice. Even the night sky
occasionally exhibits the wonders of the season with illuminations of the Aurora
Borealis, commonly know as Northern Lights.
Toronto: Canada's Megacity
More Info
|
+ My Favorites
It's been called everything from “Hogtown” to “Hollywood North” to “Toronto
the Good”, and with one of North America's liveliest nightlifes, a concentration
of world class attractions and a large multicultural population with the flavour
to match, the only thing Toronto cannot be called is mediocre.

More Info
|
+ My Favorites
Scattered in the Pacific Ocean just off of mainland B.C. are a multitude of islands with gem-like brilliance.

+ My Favorites
On the seaside of the Pacific Ocean, framed by snow capped coastal mountains
lies beautiful and vibrant Vancouver.
Vancouver is cosmopolitan in structure, events and attitude, yet is greatly
influenced by a remarkable natural setting. The combination of rich cultural
experiences and vast opportunities for exploring nature makes Vancouver an intriguing
destination.
Victoria: The City of Gardens
More Info
|
+ My Favorites
A glance at the long list of monikers that Victoria has acquired is an attestment to the eclectic and unique nature of British
Columbia's capital city. Located on the southern tip of Vancouver
Island, this historic city has been called everything from the official
pseudonym City of Gardens, to the Vacation Capital of Canada, to the tongue-in-cheek
nickname City of Newly-weds and Nearly-Deads (the city is equally well known
for its popularity as a honeymoon destination as for its large population of
retirees).

+ My Favorites
The province of Alberta is often recognized by its most prominent geographical features: the cascading Rocky Mountains, which rise out of the ground like a stairway to the sun, and the vast prairies, home to generations of farmers and agricultural development. These two features are merged together in the southwestern-most corner of the province at Waterton Lakes National Park.

+ My Favorites
Whistler is without doubt one of the finest year-round resorts there is. It is most well known as a world class ski centre, but it is equally attractive as a summer destination with a wide range of activities. If you want, you can actually still ski in summer as some runs, on the glaciers high in the mountains are still open.
Windsor: A Multicultural Border City
More Info
|
+ My Favorites
Windsor Ontario lies directly across the Detroit River from Detroit, Michigan. Encompassing 120 square kilometres, or 46 square miles, Windsor is home
to over 208,000 people. Its residents are predominantly English speaking, but Windsor is truly a multicultural city, playing host to people from all over the world.
Winnipeg: Culture, Beaches & Friendliness
More Info
|
+ My Favorites
Winnipeg provides a very pleasant surprise for the visitor. Maybe because of its cold winters, or perhaps because of its isolation right in the centre of the vast width of Canada, Winnipeg is very much (and very unfairly) underrated. This city of 650,000 has an amazing range of interesting sights and attractions, leisure opportunities and cultural activities.
Yukon: What a Rush
More Info
|
+ My Favorites
Of all of Canada's northern territories, the Yukon is perhaps the best known to visitors. This is probably because it is by far the most easily accessible, and is located on the main land route between Alaska and the rest of the U.S.A. The Yukon is also particularly remarkable for its rugged mountain scenery, varied wildlife, and its history - the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1800s is legendary the world over.
