Hey. I'm not really Canadian...i am half canadian though and a large part of my family live over there. Despite this i have never been there! I really want to cos it looks sooo nice there compared to Engerland (which is about as interesting as a brick...a very uninteresting brick at that) i am thinking about coming over for a gap year or something....but i wouldnt know where to go, anyone know of any really nice places worth visiting? ta... half canadian Tom
well try.. Alberta.. or BC.. BC is all mountanious and has the best pot.. uhm i dono.. saskatchuwan sucks.... yukon is nice if u like senery.. it all depends on your interests.
Edmonton(alberta) is quite boring most of the time, but there`s a variety of festivals during the summer, starting with the jazz festival in june, and it goes on with a folk festival and alot more. BC(british-columbia) is gorgeous, absolutely breath taking if you`re a big nature person, and even if you aren`t it`s great anyway, you just have to find the right spot. I live in montreal(quebec). It`s quite nice, but it`s more city like here. People here are very opened minded, alot of cultures live here. It`s a great place to be if you`re visiting and looking for a change.There`s alot of festivals here too, and my favorite thing about being here is The Tam-Tams(people get together and dance and play tam-tams, it`s a peace filled event that heppens every sunday starting May 8th until September 28th). Personally i`m bored with living here tho, i`m planing on leaving this summer, maybe BC, i don`t know, wherever the road takes me i guess. Anyhow, wherever you choose to go, it`ll be great just because us canadians are great . PeaceLove&Music, Angela.
Even though I've never been to Newfoundland I have a couple of friends from out there (the island that is) and from what I hear it's wonderful. We can't forget the east coast guys!
I beg to differ. Saskatchewan doesn't suck. He is coming from England afterall, and would probably get a major kick out of all the space Sakatchewan has to offer. Also, there are the Bad Lands to consider, which have wicked rocks and desert to go exploring in. If he wanted to head up further north there are amazing lakes and rivers that are virtually unpopulated and unpoluted. Vast forests too! The land is flat in the south, and open.. but depending on the time of year there are a lot of great colour variations to be seen in the different crops and their stage of maturation. The south is all most people see... and that is the south along the Trans-Canada.
Victoria, BC is so British that you might forget you aren't still in the UK. You could go for high tea at the Empress, have chips with malt vinegar and salt wrapped in newspaper from a century old fish and chip place, or tip a jar or two of stout at a pub like the Sticky Wicket. If you like the wild outdoors, mountains, glaciers, beaches, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, canyons, etc. then you will not be able to spend enough time in BC to see all the wonders here. For winter fun, Whistler is world class. For stunning mountain scenes, the area between Banff, Jasper, and Canmore, AB is an eye opener. If you like rodeos, etc., maybe Alberta is a better choice. Big cities? Toronto is so big you could drop Vancouver into the middle of it and lose it. Wide open spaces, big skies, etc., Saskatchewan has lots of that. Quebec has the oldest communities, and lots of old world charm and European flavour, and the maritimes are a scenic, and very friendly place to visit, filled with probably the most jovial folks in the nation. At least from my experience. The north is a land of endless, awe inspiring vistas, and warm hearted people.
