Canada holiday highlights
Canada’s mix of modern cities, diverse landscapes and a varied climate offers a multitude of experiences and places of interest for anyone holidaying there. Here are the top 10 things to do.
1. Explore the national parks
Offering breathtaking views, hiking trails and the chance to see native wildlife in situ, Canada’s magnificent national parks such Yoho in the Rocky Mountains and Gros Morne in Newfoundland are not to be missed.
Canada overview
Canada has a proud history of contributing to international peacekeeping efforts and is known for its commitment to multiculturalism and diversity, with a strong tradition of upholding human rights and civil liberties.
Canada is officially a bilingual country speaking both English and French, and has a multicultural makeup reflected in its art, cuisine, music, festivals and celebrations.
The weather in Canada varies dramatically due to its vast size and geography, with Arctic conditions in the north and subtropical climates in the south.
Western Canada (British Columbia, Alberta) sees wet, cool winters and warm, dry summers along the coast, with inland and mountainous regions having warm summers and colder winters with snowfall. The Prairie provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba experience cold winters with heavy snow and dry, hot summers.
Within central Canada, the climate experiences all four seasons, including snow in the winter.
Atlantic Canada, including the states of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, will experience milder winters than central and northern Canada, and mild, pleasant summers.
Northern Canada, including Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, gets short, warm summers and long, cold winters, with temperatures often below freezing. The far north Subarctic and Arctic areas have a polar climate all year with cold winters and brief, cool summers.
Summer (June to August) is the most popular time to visit Canada with longer, warmer days, perfect for camping, hiking and exploring the landscape.
The winter months between December and February are also popular for those interested in winter sports including skiing and snowboarding, with well-known ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains, Québec and Ontario.
What to eat
The must-try comfort food is poutine, which consists of French fries covered in cheese curds smothered in gravy. Or why not try beaver tails? Thankfully not made using the tails of beavers, just similar in shape, these popular pastries are deep fried and covered in cinnamon sugar or chocolate. No trip would be complete without sampling the Pacific salmon from British Columbia or infamous top-quality maple syrup.
