Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:

Canada is a vast and diverse geographical wonderland. Each province shares its own personality and offers unique gifts to the adventure-hungry traveler. Kayaking the pristine lakes in Banff National Park, precariously walking the ledge atop the 1,465-foot CN Tower in Toronto, admiring the Northern Lights in the Alberta Rockies, or sifting through 3 million war artifacts at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa give travelers a taste of this grand country’s offerings. From the ornately manicured gardens of Butchart Gardens to the cantilevered walkways clinging to the granite cliffs of Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, Canada fulfills every traveler’s dreams.
