wonders of the world or indulging in a lively city vibe. Exploring the Canadian Rockies and Canada’s largest national park, Jasper, is one Canada’s great many attractions. Steeped in serenity and engulfed in wonderful wildlife, living in close proximity to the park ensures sightings of moose, caribou and wolverines, not to mention the kaleidoscopic panoramas that surround you. Adventurers are sure to be pleased with the more than 2.7 million acres of land to explore, which is home to glorious peaks, raging rivers and even glaciers. If cityscapes are more your style but you still have reverence for old-world architecture, MontrÊal may be the place to plant your roots. Best described as multifaceted, MontrÊal is where newly-built skyscrapers intermingle with 18th-century structures. Historic buildings are repurposed as trendy eateries, cobblestone streets are the site of bustling marketplaces and the nightlife scene is known to extend to all hours of the evening. Both English and French are frequently spoken here by residents who are just as diverse as the city they call home.
