Canada

06 Contents

Discover a land of infinite diversity: majestic mountains and sweeping prairies, secluded lakes and rocky seashores, historic sites and trendy urban enclaves.

It is also the world’s second-largest country, and active adventures abound in its unspoilt expanses. Let a luxury train, limousine or float plane whisk you to the wilderness. Gasp as you soar over jagged peaks in a helicopter or kayak past a seal colony in a quiet ocean cove.

Begin your journey in one of Canada’s easy-to-reach gateway cities. Catch the scent of fresh-baked brioche as you clatter along the cobblestone streets of Old Montreal in a horse-drawn calèche. Mingle excitedly with Hollywood celebrities at the Toronto International Film Festival. Cheer on a fearless cowboy at the Calgary Stampede. Browse stylish Vancouver boutiques before enjoying exquisite sushi.

Canada is a place where polar bear cubs frolic in endless tundra, wolves howl on moonlit nights and herds of bison roam free under boundless skies.

Meander quiet trails in national parks, biosphere reserves and UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites, and imagine what this land was like before humans ever glimpsed it.

The welcome awaiting you here is a warm one. In one of the world’s most multicultural nations, tolerance and curiosity have created an open, generous and welcoming society. Here, traditions combine in infinitely fascinating ways. You may find yourself savouring brisket with kimchi Hollandaise sauce at a Korean fusion café, or applauding Shakespeare performed in Cantonese with English subtitles. And you will come to suspect that Canada is the social pioneer of the 21st century.

Immerse yourself in the magic of a country simultaneously ancient and entirely new.

Atlantic Canada Historic lighthouses casting their beams over rocky coasts slick with sea spray. Tiny pubs where fiddlers keep things lively until the wee hours. And lobster so fresh it was swimming in the ocean this morning. The charms of Canada’s Atlantic provinces are timeless, and the variety in these four friendly provinces is astonishing. Meet hardy fishermen in remote settlements on the rugged coast of Labrador or sip a fragrant espresso in Halifax’s Historic Properties. Touch the ancient remnants of Viking settlements at L’Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland or tap your toes at an Acadian festival in New Brunswick. Inhale the rich scent of apple blossoms as you cycle along a quiet recreational path in Prince Edward Island or relish the freedom of the road on the winding curves of Cape Breton’s dramatic Cabot Trail.

Central Canada In the heartland of Canada’s two European founding cultures, French and English traditions come together in an unforgettable landscape of countless lakes and dramatic Canadian Shield granite. Like a voyageur of old, dip your canoe paddle into a serene river shaded by maple trees vivid with gold and scarlet autumn leaves. Slip into the timeless, carefree culture of cottage country, where the most pressing question of the day may be what is on the menu for dinner. In Toronto or Montreal, linger over tantalising dishes with their roots in Africa, South America, Asia or the Caribbean. Strike up a conversation in a gallery-café and discover that your companion is the artist who painted the striking works for sale. Find yourself photographing polar bears on the shore of Hudson Bay one day and touring an award-winning winery a few days later.

North Canada Above you, the sky is putting on a show no pyrotechnics expert could begin to rival. Jewel-like tones of emerald and purple pulse against the inky night sky. You are hundreds of kilometres from the nearest city and an infinite distance from the world you know. Here on the edge of the Arctic Circle, people live by the traditions that have sustained them in this harshly beautiful environment for hundreds of years. And on this unforgettable journey, you have the chance to share this legacy. Taste the rich flavour of caribou. Celebrate the brief but spectacular Arctic summer, when the landscape blooms with lichen and tiny flowers, and arctic hares bound away from your footsteps. Meet Inuit elders and soapstone carvers. Shout with delight as you guide a dog team or drive a snowmobile. Encounter a land unlike any other you have ever visited.

West Canada Rocky peaks dusted with snow pierce the clear blue sky. It is hard to conceive that nature can be so vast and so unspoilt, but believe it. From the golden wheat fields of the prairies and the undulating foothills of the Rockies outside Calgary, to the isolated Queen Charlotte Islands on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, Western Canada is blessed with immense scenic riches.

Hike across an ancient glacier, along the shore of an aquamarine alpine lake or through forests resonant with birdsong. Sip fine wines in a vineyard cafÊ in the Okanagan Valley or go horseback riding on country trails at a guest ranch. Explore Canada’s only desert. And when you have had your fill of nature--if that is possible--enjoy the urban pleasures of bustling Calgary, friendly Edmonton, elegant Victoria and dynamic Vancouver.

Festivals Immerse yourself in timeless classics or world premieres at a theatre or film festival. Enjoy fine vintages at a wine celebration. Check out some of the countless music festivals from coast to coast, where you can enjoy everything from chamber music to hip-hop. Or put on a cowboy hat and join the revellers at western events throughout the country, including the renowned Calgary Stampede: thrill to the thunder of chuck wagon races, cheer on a bronc rider, or let some infectious country music inspire you to try line dancing. Experience a Québécois rodeo, at the Festival Western de St-Tite! You will be spoilt for choice.

Calgary Stampede - With something for everyone, the Stampede truly is The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth Attracting an average of 1.2 million visitors annually, the Calgary Stampede is the largest event in Calgary, Alberta. Each July, this ten day, city-wide celebration commemorates the history, culture and heritage of the Canadian West. True western hospitality and that special Stampede spirit are in big supply almost everywhere you go, from the high-steppin', two hour kickoff parade downtown to the streets filled with western musicians, dances, activities and free pancake breakfasts.

Every afternoon, competitors saddle up for a ground-shaking showcase of world-class rodeo action, including bull riding, saddle bronc, bareback, tiedown roping, steer wrestling and ladies’ barrel racing competitions.

16 Canada

Each evening, the GMC Rangeland Derby features chuckwagon races, a Stampede original, with 36 teams of horses and drivers competing. The nine heart-stopping chuckwagon races explode in an all-out dash for the finish line.

It is all capped off with the nightly 90 minute Calgary Stampede Grandstand Show Spectacular on a gigantic outdoor stage, when hundreds of singers,

dancers and musicians dazzle a crowd of all ages. The show concludes with TransAlta ‘Lights Up The Night’, a huge fireworks finale.

The Calgary Stampede is one of Canada’s largest music festivals, with five stages and 300 performers, including a slate of international country music head-liners.

Visitors of all ages can enjoy a western art show and auction, lifestyle exhibits, agricultural events and displays, the First Nations of Treaty 7 at Indian Village (where band members set up their tepees and demonstrate the history and culture of Canada's First Nations), a giant midway, live entertainment and the Stampede Casino.

Festival Western de St-Tite - A unique cowboy experience that you will remember for years to come Imagine if the entire population of the United States paid a visit to the city of Montreal. That is what happens every September, proportionally, to the residents of St-Tite, a small town in the St. Maurice Valley region. What began as a modest Western rodeo and merchant fair in 1967 has become a world-renowned event that has been recognised by the International Professional Rodeo Association as the 'Best Outdoor Rodeo in North America' since 1999.

The Festival Western de St-Tite is a unique country-and-western experience and a model of excellence in rodeo production for eastern North America. Its continued growth is the result of hard work on the part of the many passionate men and women who contribute to the Festival's success. For ten days of festivities, visitors immerse themselves in this exceptional lifestyle, enjoying everything from bull riding to line dancing. That is how the Festival Western de St-Tite earned the title 'Biggest Western Event in Eastern Canada'.

Experience ancestral life through numerous workshops, ranging from the fabrication of a medicine ball to canoe outings, from myths and legends to archery.

Built around 1730 and modelled after Santa Casa de Loreto in Italy, it includes a small sanctuary dedicated to St. Kateri Tekakwitha, a Mohawk pilgrim canonised in 2012.

The event takes place throughout Wendake and includes open-air handicraft workshops, demonstrations of traditional know-how and tastings of authentic First Nations dishes. In the summer, the stage production Ozalik reinvents Aboriginal folklore with First Nations flair. Music, dance, theatre and circus performances conceptualise the circle of life and the sacred fire. There are several performances per week at the outdoor amphitheatre. Everyone who comes to Wendake will bring a bit of this community back home with them.

Log Cabin Chic There are few structures more evocative of wild landscapes than a log cabin. As soon as you catch a glimpse of one, you are transported to a world of covered wagons, lonely fur trappers and candlelight.

These days, log cabins still have an aura of history and romance, but with all the mod cons—from tennis courts and geothermal spas to fine dining and wine cellars. One thing has remained constant, though: the sense that you are at one with the natural world around you. Bring your camera, fishing rod and hiking boots, and prepare to be enchanted by the wildlife roaming free just beyond the boundary of civilisation.

Maligne Tours and Adventures - Paddle, cruise, hike, fish or white-water raft in and around Maligne Lake, the heart and soul of Jasper National Park Spirit Island, a diminutive icon of the Canadian Rockies, is the destination of the scenic Maligne Lake cruise. This 90 minute interpretive tour aboard heated, glass-enclosed boats was recently voted Canada's best cruise by Reader’s Digest subscribers. Maligne Lake, just 30 miles from the Jasper town site, is the largest glacially formed and fed lake in the Canadian Rockies. Glacial remnants of the last Ice Age still cling to the cliffs, rest in the cirques and cap off the pinnacles of Maligne Lake's fabulous ring of 3,360 metre mountains. The meltwaters of those glaciers give the lake its tranquil blue colour, and that backdrop of lofty peaks holds back the busy world providing a calming wilderness experience.

Authentic Rocky Mountain experiences await you at Maligne Lake. Rent a canoe or kayak, and paddle the azure lake waters at your leisure. Or perhaps you would prefer to nose around some of the historic buildings that dot the shoreline. You could explore the wide assortment of hiking trails, which range from easy walks to energetic scrambles; if you would like to hike with a guide, this can be arranged as well. The lake itself has abundant populations of rainbow and

eastern brook trout, and a full or half-day of fishing with a guide will bring you to some prime angling spots. Wherever you go and whatever you do, the clear, pine-scented air and breath-taking scenery will rejuvenate you.

For a real Rocky Mountain adventure, plan on a white-water rafting trip with Maligne Rafting Adventures. This wet and wild ride takes advantage of the big natural vertical drop found in mountain rivers. There are three rivers to choose from: the Athabasca, for a family-friendly Class II experience; the turbulent Sunwapta, with its Class III rapids; and the mighty Fraser, for a big-water, daredevil, Class III rapids run all season long.

Or get soaked to the skin when you take on the churning waters of the Niagara River in a powerful jet boat.

Nunavut – Canada’s Eastern Arctic - Untamed, unspoiled and undiscovered Leave the beaten path behind and head north to experience a place where ancient traditions, untouched landscapes and incredible wildlife exist together like nowhere else on Earth. Settled by indigenous people thousands of years ago, Nunavut, which means 'our land' in Inuktitut, is Canada's newest and largest territory, formed in 1999 and covering a staggering one fifth of Canada’s land mass. This enormous natural paradise is home not only to half of the world’s polar bears, but also to the other four species that make up Nunavut’s ‘Big Five’: muskox, walrus, caribou and the exotic narwhal, the ‘unicorn of the sea’. Witness these incredible animals from the comfort of a cruise ship, or up close and personal with an experienced guide—the choice is yours.

With only one person for every 25 square miles, Nunavut’s stunningly varied landscape offers some of the world’s most exciting adventure travel. Go sea kayaking alongside massive icebergs, canoe along the Thelon, Kazan, and Soper heritage rivers, or tackle a challenging multi-day hike in one of Nunavut’s four spectacular national parks. The endless snow-blanketed tundra and frozen sea ice are a dream come true for snowmobilers and skiers. Or for an authentic cultural experience, take a half-day, full-day or overnight dogsled trip, snuggled

up in caribou skins on a qamutik (traditional sled), basking under the magical northern lights at night.

No matter where you travel in Nunavut, you will find yourself immersed in the vibrant culture of the Inuit people. Their rich history can be traced through the thousands of archaeological sites on the land, storytelling, drum dancing, throat singing and world-famous Inuit art. Nunavut Tourism member operators will help arrange cultural encounters and visits to galleries or co-ops where you might find that special piece you have been looking for.

Aurora Borealis, Northern Lights Tours - Marvel at a natural phenomenon that appears along a narrow band circling the magnetic North Pole: the aurora borealis 1. Aurora Borealis,

Northern Lights Tours, canada

68 Canada

In the Northwest Territories, the aurora borealis is often so vivid it seems close enough to touch. Far from city lights, you can gaze in amazement as the night sky lights up. When the aurora is directly overhead, as it is in the Northwest Territories, you can almost feel the lights wrap ghostly fingers around you.

The display is usually blue-green or yellow-green, sometimes edged with pink. Deep red auroras, which are very rare, are caused by an unusually heavy bombardment of particles acting on the oxygen in the atmosphere.

There are many ways to enjoy this awe-inspiring experience. View nature’s greatest light show from the steamy heat of an outdoor hot tub at a wilderness lodge. For a truly magical experience, try a dogsled adventure under the northern lights. Or you could select a heated and enclosed deck chair on a 360-degree viewing deck, with activities to amuse you till the aurora appears. Whether you prefer rugged or pampered, the Northwest Territories has a spectacular aurora experience just for you.

If the weather is clear, chances are good that you will catch sight of the aurora around midnight between late August and mid-April in the Northwest Territories.

The aurora is at its dazzling best from December to March, when the nights are longest and the sky is darkest, but autumn nights can be very rewarding, too.

Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, has more than 240 potential aurora viewing nights per year, and the Northwest Territories has two important advantages over other locations. The landscape is relatively flat, so the full auroral display can be seen from most vantage points. Weather is also a factor: the Northwest Territories has more clear nights than mountainous or ocean-side locations at the same latitude.

Small Ship Cruising Come aboard a nimble expedition ship and sail to shores so wild it is hard to believe they still exist. Behold massive glaciers, scenic fjords and noisy colonies of seabirds. Truly connect with unspoilt places.

Whistler

76 Canada

Whistler Blackcomb - Rated among the top ski resorts in North America, year in and year out, and recognised as one of Canada’s premier summer destinations Whistler Blackcomb in winter virtually defines the 21st-century big mountain scene, with one of the largest areas of skiable terrain and one of the longest snow seasons in North America, a record-breaking gondola that connects the peaks of two side-by-side mountains, a vibrant mountain culture of athletes, artists, filmmakers, photographers, festivals and events, and an exceptional après-ski scene.

Located in British Columbia’s Coast Mountains, in a temperate coastal rainforest, Whistler Blackcomb boasts plentiful, consistent and reliable snow. The combination of high levels of precipitation and moderate temperatures creates the West Coast powder that Whistler Blackcomb is famous for. This snow sticks to terrain, providing unparalleled coverage and enabling Whistler Blackcomb to offer some of the best, most accessible expert slopes in North America. With 3,306 hectares of skiable area, 16 alpine bowls, three glaciers, more than 200 marked trails, and just over 1,600 metres of vertical, Whistler Blackcomb is on the must-do list of many skiers and riders. Link all of that with an advanced high-speed lift system (37 lifts, including 18 express lifts and the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola), and you have a remarkable ski and snowboard experience. And for the ultimate experience, go all the way with Whistler Heli-Skiing. It offers what others cannot — the amenities of a world-class ski resort and access to 173 glaciers, 475 runs and 174,821 hectares of deep and uncharted powder.

Once the day’s on-mountain adventures are done, the village is packed with activities. Stroll the walkways of Whistler Village and you will quickly realise that this is not your average ski town. One part quaint mountain village, one part international snow sport cultural hub — Whistler Village is truly one of a kind.

From an end-of-the day beer and tall tales during après-ski to the chance to burn off any leftover energy at the outdoor skating rink or the Coca-Cola Tube Park, the list of “what to do in Whistler” gets even longer when the lifts stop.
