It always surprises me that people will travel everywhere else before they’ve experienced the incredible diversity and beauty Canada has to offer. These are a few of my favourite things (to date)…
- British Columbia: Paddling from Bella Bella to Bella Coola. Just “being” on the beach at Tofino on Vancouver Island.
- Alberta: Climbing the rock-face at Lake Louise.
- Saskatchewan: Savouring a bison burger.
- Manitoba: Delighting in Winnpeg’s Leo Mol Sculpture Garden.
- Ontario: Engaging in a Pow-Wow at the Six Nations of the Grand River, Canada’s largest First Nation.
- Quebec: Touring a maple sugar bush and savouring that first piece of tarte au sucre.
- New Brunswick: Rediscovering your inner kid at St. Andrews Creative Playground.
- Prince Edward Island: Seeing, having imagined, where Anne of Green Gables lived.
- Nova Scotia: Meandering through Cape Breton.
- Newfoundland: Being screeched in one of those towns with a saucy name.
I have yet to visit Yukon, The Northwest Territories or Nunavut but they’re all high on my bucket list.
Before you buy that ticket to Europe, consider driving and/or taking the train coast to coast to coast. That’s the trip of a lifetime every true-blue Canuck deserves to experience!
