INTRODUCTION / Canada

Welcome to Canada Stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, and north to the Arctic, the world's second-largest country offers travellers a staggeringly diverse range of holiday choices: snow-capped mountains and salty seashores, glittering skyscrapers and sweeping ranches, beluga whales and tiny hummingbirds, charming fishing villages and award-winning wineries. Your biggest challenge will not be finding something to do; it will be deciding what to leave out. Consider starting your adventure in one of Canada’s major cities. Enjoy the ocean and the mountains in breathtaking Vancouver. Sample cowboy culture in the shadow of the Rockies in Calgary. Taste cuisines from around the world in multicultural Toronto. Succumb to Montreal’s peerless joie de vivre. And leave time for the delights of smaller cities: kayaking in Victoria's Inner Harbour, taking in a free concert at the Forks in Winnipeg, skating on Ottawa's Rideau Canal, revelling at Quebec City's famed winter carnival or simply enjoying a pint in a St. John's pub. Beyond the cities, half a continent of wilderness adventure awaits. Cast your line for glistening salmon. Plunge through a frothing river in a rubber raft, or dip your canoe paddle in a secluded cove. Hike gorgeous trails through pine-scented woods and alpine meadows. Ski some of the world’s most challenging slopes – then come back in the summer and tackle them on a mountain bike. Keep your camera ready for encounters with awe-inspiring wildlife: grizzly bears and orcas, caribou and eagles, polar bears and moose. And be there for the drama of nature at the beginning and end of each spectacular day: the mist rising from a glassy lake, sunset staining a rolling vineyard in shades of crimson and gold, or the northern lights shimmering in a velvety night sky.

Ontario

British Columbia From the scenic Gulf Islands to the lofty Rockies, British Columbia encompasses some of the most stunning scenery in Canada. Bring your outdoor gear so you can ski pristine powder, kayak in quiet coves, hike unspoiled trails and golf spectacular courses. Then in a chic urban restaurant, reward yourself with a glass of crisp B.C. Chardonnay.

Glimmering lakes framed by towering pines. The roar of Niagara Falls and the pageantry of the nation's capital. The energy of Canada's largest city and the charm of small towns. From worldclass theatre and award-winning wines to luxurious resorts and delightful country inns, Ontario offers something appealing for just about every traveller.

Quebec

Alberta Three four-season Rocky Mountain resort towns – Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper – are Alberta’s calling cards to the world, but they are just the beginning of what this diverse province has to offer. Dude ranches, rowdy rodeos, dinosaur fossils, vibrant cities, big-sky vistas, juicy local steaks, fascinating museums – Alberta has it all.

Saskatchewan and Manitoba

Stroll along the walls of historic Quebec City and imagine life as a colonist 400 years ago. Visit a cutting-edge gallery in Montreal and discover the avant-garde of the 21st century. Savour traditional French-Canadian treats like tourtière and sugar pie. And explore vast wilderness spaces: go whalewatching, dog sledding, fishing and more.

New Brunswick

Rippling fields of golden wheat stretching as far as the eye can see, punctuated by colourful grain elevators. Aboriginal dancers and Ukrainian Easter eggs. Polar bears stalking along the shore of Hudson Bay. The unspoiled beauty and friendly charm of these two Prairie provinces entice visitors with the promise of escape from the everyday.

Yukon and Northwest Territories The north holds a special place in the imagination of visitors from far and near. This stunning land is where stoic Inuit and lonely gold prospectors have carved out a living for centuries. Marvel at thundering herds of caribou. Canoe foaming rivers far from the nearest village. And see it all under the unforgettable shimmer of the aurora borealis. Jonview | Destination Canada

Thrill to the spray of some of the world's highest tides along the breathtaking Fundy Trail. Kayak among spectacular sandstone formations sculpted by the sea. Dig into fresh-caught lobster drizzled with sweet local butter. And revel in the captivating blend of French and English cultures, mixed with inimitable Maritime hospitality.

Prince Edward Island Build a sandcastle on an endless sandy beach. Swim in some of Canada's warmest ocean waters. Visit the farmhouse that inspired the iconic novel, Anne of Green Gables. Shop for hand-made quilts and jams. Or golf undulating courses overlooking the sea, edged with the red earth that gives Prince Edward Island such a distinctive look.

Canada / INTRODUCTION

Inspiring Rocky Mountain scenery - Moraine Lake, Banff National Park

Nova Scotia

Newfoundland and Labrador

Treat yourself to one of the world's most spectacular scenic drives: the jaw-dropping Cabot Trail, which hugs the coastal cliffs of Cape Breton Island. Here and elsewhere in Nova Scotia, the skirl of bagpipes and the lilt of fiddles are never far away. And lighthouses, apple orchards and historic sites make the province a photographer's dream.

Jonview | Destination Canada

Newfoundland and Labrador is not only unlike any other Canadian province; it may well be unlike anywhere else in the world. From the rich accents and side-splitting humour of the locals to the ethereal rocky landscape and laid-back vibe, it is a truly a place apart. It even has its own time zone, shared with no other jurisdiction in the world.

Cycle along the Lachine Canal. Catch a cutting-edge exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts or browse for sleek housewares in Plateau Mont-Royal.

Quebec City In North America's only remaining walled cities, history is as close as a horse-drawn caleche clopping down a cobblestone street, or uniformed schoolgirls spilling from a centuries-old convent school each afternoon. Stay in an unforgettable historic hotel. Sample traditional fare like sugar pie. And sip a cafĂŠ au lait on a scenic terrace.
